Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):
- I would like to discuss further how we can add extensions that twitter does not even have.
- I think it would be cool to add the ability to watch videos inside a tweet and I hope to learn how to do that in my application.

A big challenge with this app was getting the autolayout. I think it was a good practice for what we will have to deal with in the future, however, to be completley honest, I still am not super comfortable with autolayout.
List an 3rd party libraries, icons, graphics, or other assets you used in your app.
