List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!
1. show images, videos from tweets.
2. go to someone's profile and see their posts.

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):

How does stack view really works for auto layout, I did use it but I wanted to do more and not sure how.
How request token, authorize and access_token is acquired and how they do the whole authorization process.

Notes

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.

I guess understanding the code already written for us.
Why do the code creates an instance inside its own class to get to their funcs instead of making those funcs static ?
