threader is a command-line application that lets you create twitter threads
using a plain old markdown file.
I usually write blog posts in Markdown, sometimes these posts are short enough so that they merit being posted on Twitter as a thread rather than on my website.
(For now) You can clone the project and install the binary using by invoking the following command in the project root:
$ cargo install --path .In order to use this, you must sign up for a Twitter developer account and grab the following information:
- Consumer key and secret pair
- Access token key and secret pair
Once you have the information above, set them in a configuration file called
.threader.toml in any one of the XDG base directories.
consumer_key=
consumer_secret=
access_token_key=
access_token_secret=Here is a file called thread.md which we want to tweet. We can specify an
optional thread title which will get displayed at the top of the first tweet.
As you can see, individual tweets are delimited via a markdown paragraph.
Threader is a command-line tool for crafting twitter threads
Write stuff down in a Markdown file and invoke a single command to publish your thread.
This could be useful if you write an article using Markdown and want to post it to your blog and Twitter at the same time.
Check out the code on GitHub: https://github.com/terror/threaderAssuming your environment is all set up, you can invoke the following command to convert the following file into a Twitter thread and then have it tweeted on your behalf:
threader --file thread.mdAnd then view it on Twitter!
