Better twitter embed

How I get tweets onto https://umaar.com/dev-tips/feedback

Create a .env file like this:

Note: To fill in TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN, run the next step

TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=
TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=
TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN=

Install deps:

npm i

Get your bearer token:

make get-bearer-token

Add your IDs to ids.json and run

mkdir images
make start

Sprite Generation

Generate sprites of all images in ./images. Save the output image to /assets/images/twitter-profile-pics.jpg.

For the class prefixes, use: dt-fb-sprite (in the "sprite class name" input) & dt-fb-pic- (in the "class prefix" input)

The sprite generator is here: https://instantsprite.com/ / Forked at https://github.com/umaar/InstantSprite

• Can use horizontal direction
• 0px offet
• instantsprite exports as a png, so open with preview and export to .jpg with a lower quality

Copy markup

Copy the markup from tmp.txt and paste it into umaar/app/dev-tips/main/tweets

Copy CSS

Take the CSS from instantsprite and paste it into dev-tips-feedback.scss. Find '*.jpg' and replace it with /assets/images/twitter-profile-pics.jpg.

Get all twitter IDs from page

[...document.querySelectorAll("blockquote")].map((b) => {
  return [...b.querySelectorAll("a")].reverse()[0].href.split("status/")[1];
});
