FollowFriday

Description

A simple Applescript that helps you in creating a #FollowFriday Twitter message. It removes the manual work of finding, copying, and pasting user names that you want to include in your Follow Friday tweet.

What it does

This script looks at your latest Twitter notifications and finds the users that have recently interacted with you directly, or a tweet in which you were mentioned.

The user names that have met the above criteria are extracted to a list, separated by commas, and are then pasted into a new .txt file on your desktop (look for "Follow Friday Message.txt")

Built With

  • Applescript
  • Javascript

Requirements

  • MacOS 10.X
  • Safari

Instructions

  1. Login to Twitter in Safari
  2. Open your Twitter notifications
  3. Ensure Twitter is your primary tab (drag the tab all the way over to the left)
  4. Run "Follow Friday.app"
  5. Look for "Follow Friday Message.txt" on your Desktop
  6. Copy the contents and paste into your preferred Twitter composer

Notes

I'm working to make this a little more turn-key. On the horizon are customization options to extract the user names based on different sets of criteria along with other UI components. Thanks for your patience and stay tuned!
