Simon Willison’s Twitter client
I went through pages of history so you don’t have to. Sounds like it’d be pretty easy to copy.
Finally broke down and wrote my own stupid twitter client on the train… it does groups! (July 3rd)
@rboulton as a matter of fact I did :) mongodb + about 100 lines of Python (July 3rd)
Having your own Twitter client that saves tweets to a persistent store is AWESOME - group support, search over just people you follow… (July 4th)
my dumb home grown Twitter client is now powered by djng! (July 4th)
@TrevorGerzen it’s really simple - just a script that dumps tweets in to mongodb every 60 seconds, and a one-page Django app that shows them (July 4th)
@rboulton @cackhanded haven’t decided if I’ll release my client yet (July 6th)
@JimPurbrick my custom Twitter client now archives everything from people I follow (in MongoDB), it’s a really useful feature (July 8th)
