+This is a toy I built so I wouldn't have to check the [Grand Forks 311](http://www.grandforksgov.com/online-services/gf-311)
+app/website all the time.
+
+It currently toots to Mastodon at [@hackgfk_311@botsin.space](https://botsin.space/@hackgfk_311).
+Toots are converted to Tweets ([@hackgfk_311](https://twitter.com/hackgfk_311)) with @renatolond's wonderful 
+crossposter: https://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br ([source code](https://github.com/renatolond/mastodon-twitter-poster)).
+
+Written in R because I'm much quicker at that than Python, and it seemed like a fun use case.
+
+Pull requests always welcome!
