Finish and test autotweet.R

[matiasandina]

Instead of tokenizing, just count characters up to 270 and find the previous punctuation mark ("!","?", ",", ".", "*"). then add "..." after that and start the next tweet.

  I think I remembered why I was using sentences in the first place
  Not trivial to count and "find previous punctuation mark" and have it make sense to a human while reading
  At the end of the day it's easier to first separate by sentences and them glue them back together.

• from the number of characters in each entry, make the threads smaller
• add emojis to the tweets <- I think will prove hard/ineffective unless we use generic emojis
• for posts with Seminar series videos, add a link to the seminar or even embed seminar video to tweet?
• figure out if image embedding works well.
• in the last tweet of the thread add a phrase like: " for this and other projects related to #tag1 #tag2 visit https://openneuroscience.com" (the tags come from the post tags.)
  • This will not be added to the last tweet because it gets us in the problem of counting characters again. It will be sent as the last tweet
• First tweet of the thread is kinda lame, just the name and the link... it can be used to add the @ for each author, although we currently have none.

Updated the version of autotweet.R. It's almost there generating the threads, happy to explain.

One comment about this...we would need a way for linking each project to the link of their presentation on our seminar series.
This needs to be entered manually, preferentially on the spreadsheet generated by the form
