Browse twitter home timeline by media only
One-page website that renders tweets from your home timeline that have media attached (image, video). Images shown in a large format, easy to right-click-save or save to Dropbox.
Create and configure .env file, install dependencies and run using vercel dev:
$ cp .env.example .env
$ npm i
$ npm run dev:vercelDeploy with Vercel. You can set environment variables in your Vercel app with the exact same keys as in the .env file.
- Twitter consumer key/secret is gained by creating a Twitter app with your Twitter developer account.
- Dropbox tokens can be created in a Dropbox app.
- Sessions are stored in an UpStash Redis Database with TLS encryption.
- Twitter limits user requests to 15 per 15 minutes. 200 tweets can be retrieved from the API at a time, with a max of 800. The ‘media only’-filtering done in this app will reduce that number further.
- Runs on Vercel
- Templating with Mustache
- That’s about it
- Dropbox oAuth login instead of access token
- Saving image api endpoint should check for Accept header to return JSON or HTML
- Write proper unit tests for Dropbox instance
- Let error handling middleware handle Dropbox errors as well as Twitter
- Redis instance shouldn’t export initClient
- Refactor redis-instance to session manager
- Refactor cookie script and let session be an actual session cookie
- Update cookie expiry after succesful authentication
- Lazy loading of images
- Use smaller image assets for display, larger when saving
