- User is displayed the username, name, and body for each tweet
- User is displayed the relative timestamp for each tweet "8m", "7h"
User can compose and post a new tweet
- User can click a “Compose” icon in the Action Bar on the top right
- User can then enter a new tweet and post this to twitter

Prevents users from submitting too large of tweet and changes color oif character count if so.
User's profile tweets are refreshable by pulling down to refresh (i.e pull-to-refresh)

I was able to parcel data about the user from the TimelimeActivity into ComposeActivity allowing you to see the user's name, screen name, and profile image when composing their tweet
Changed login page
