Audubon

A system to intelligently synchronize your Twitter timeline and Tumblr blog with your own website.

Principles

• Never copy content that isn't the user's
• Never copy content that isn't the user's
• Use embedded tweets (OEmbed) to provide context
• In the spirit of "Reblog, don't repost," embed reblogged posts whenever possible.

Installation

1. Don't. This isn't anywhere close to done.
2. Seriously, don't.
3. Fine.
4. Copy config-blank.php to config.php and fill out the appropriate info
5. Run the appropriate file, changing values as needed:
   • sse.php will get the most recent 20 tweets and copy them to the given folder in a Jekyll-friendly format.
   • sse-hugo will do the same as sse, but in a Hugo-friendly format. (This is recommended if you have a Twitter history of any significant size!)
   • sse-fullimport.php builds off of sse-hugo but iterates through your Twitter timeline to get all available tweets. (Note that the API is limited to your most recent 3200 tweets.)
   • sse-hugo-tumblr.php is the latest work-in-progress to adapt this to Tumblr. You will need to change the blog url on line 39.

Still to come:

• Copy images down from Tumblr
• Web interface for debugging
• Potential for multiple users?
• Decide on a CMS to import to!
  • Stick with Hugo?
  • Try WordPress again?

Feedback is welcome.
