#### Tweeting

|
# You now need a developer account to set up an app, which takes some time.
|
|
# Do that here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/apply-for-access.html
|
|
# A workaround could be to set up a Mastodon account and then auto-tweet
|
|
# using the fantastic https://crossposter.masto.donte.com.br/.
|
|
|
|
# Read authentication values from ini file
|
|
# Don't commit real values to git!
|
|

# https://rcrastinate.blogspot.com/2018/05/send-tweets-from-r-very-short.html

# After tweeting, write a small text file that has the last timestamp that was tweeted. Use that for grabbing future requests.
