Glitch Twitter bot template

This is a template for making fun Twitter bots with Glitch and the Twit node.js library. For a bit more advanced version of this starter project see twitterbot-advanced.

A quick tutorial

1. Create a new Twitter account and a new Twitter app. (See how.)
2. Update the .env file with your Twitter API key/secrets and change the BOT_ENDPOINT (it could just be random letters).
3. Update server.js with some cool Twitter bot code. (Make sure your bot follows Twitter's rules and is overall not a jerk.)
4. Set up a free service (cron-job.org, Uptime Robot, or a similar one) to wake up your bot every 25+ minutes and tweet. Use https://YOUR_PROJECT_NAME.glitch.me/BOT_ENDPOINT as a URL to which to send the HTTP request.

The included example tweets out "hello world 👋". Check out the Twit module documentation for more examples of what your bot can do.

You can find more tutorials and open source Twitter bots on Botwiki. Be sure to join Botmakers and submit your bot to Botwiki :-)
