Add new followers to private list when following

[kylemanna]

Hey,

Stumbled on your extension and think it works great! Even better that it's open source. Figured I'd share the only thing I think it's missing: the ability to add new followers to a private Twitter list to keep track of things.

Thoughts?

Hi kylemanna,

thanks for the props!

So people who follow you back will automatically be added to that private list?

[kylemanna]

Was thinking that the accounts that the extension mass follows will be added to the list so I can remember when and how I followed a certain account. Perhaps under the follow settings there'd be an option to "Add to list ________ after following" and then the operation would be:

1. Follow person
2. Add person to list x
3. Wait for predefined follow timeout
4. Repeat.

But what is the advantage of having this list? There is also a limit for users on a list. (5000)

[kylemanna]

The advantage is that it enable users to keep track of who was followed (also on what date) and potentially who followed back by reviewing the list.

The Follwr extension has a client side log of it's actions. I find it handy.

Thanks for considering!

@kylemanna I feel like you might be able to accomplish you would like with an IFTTT or Zapier recipe. I have used them for lists in the past and they worked like a charm.

Thanks for the update, I'll dig in.
