This is a simple bot built on Node.js for use with the Twitter API. It tweets a random Japanese proverb (kotowaza・ことわざ) once per hour.
Follow the kotowaza-bot on twitter.
Thank you to Alex Yatskov (FooSoft) for his awesome work on rescuing the world from the horror of the EPWING format. Your work on ZeroEPWING and Yomichan Import allowed me to funnel the proverbs into JSON format for this app.
Thank you to Daniel Shiffman and his awesome tutorial series on the Coding Train YouTube Channel. I definitely could not have put this together without your great instructional videos and explanations.
Lastly, thank you to Matt Popovich for his awesome and easy-to-follow Node.js twitter-bot tutorial. Reading through it, I was able to implement node-twitterbot for simpler and more readable code. It also helped me deploy to Heroku securely.
Of course I am also grateful for the all the people responsible for Node, npm, Heroku, GitHub, etc., but everyone knows you guys are awesome already so let's not be redundant ;)
