Browse twitter home timeline by media only

🚧 Abandoned project. I no longer have a Twitter account, for obvious reasons

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.

Development

Create and configure .env file, install dependencies and run using vercel dev:

$ cp .env.example .env
$ npm i
$ npm run dev:vercel

Production

Deploy with Vercel. You can set environment variables in your Vercel app with the exact same keys as in the .env file.

Notes

  • 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.

Tech

  • Runs on Vercel
  • Templating with Mustache
  • That’s about it

Todo

  • 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
