Since Twitter changed their API to require authentication on every request about all the sites I've made got broken. They all had this "Last tweet" bubble that suddenly didn't work anymore. Now I fixed it. Instead of changing every site back-end code to contemplate an authenticated request to Twitter's API, I made a separate web app that does that and only that. It accepts cross-origin requests and delivers your last tweet in additional formats to fit your need. It even auto link your URLs and mentions. Now I made it public. Hope you enjoy it.
- halisaurus 13y agoI'd wrap this into a single HTML/JS snippet with something like [PUT_YOUR_USERNAME_HERE]. Style it to show the last tweet in Twitter's card style. Show that on the site and anyone can use it, even without knowing what a GET request is. Drop a credit link to your site at the bottom. This is the simple stuff that is useful to non-technical bloggers and Tumblr-ers.
