Hello, this is Twat, which runs on Twit, for Twitter.

This is a small program that will reply to a configured list of twitter users with a set string.

Setting up

1. Make a Twitter account for the bot.
2. Apply for a developer account for the bot. Sorry, blame Russia.
3. Create a Twitter application for the bot.
4. Under the newly created app page, go to the Keys and tokens tab, then copy over the API key, API secret key, Access token, and Access token secret. These will go into their respective fields in your configuration file.
5. Get the twitter IDs of the users you will be replying to
6. Pick your reply
7. Fill out the configuration file
8. Run the following commands

fatbitch@FatBitch-Mac Twat % npm i
fatbitch@FatBitch-Mac Twat % npm run build
