POSSE for Microblogging (twitter)

posse-twitter

Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere microblogging.

The "elsewhere" is currently twitter. I'll probably change the name of this repo to posse-microblog and have pluggable modules for syndication, posse-microblog-twitter and posse-microblog-facebook, for example.

This is super alpha stuff right now.

Setup

• Go to http://dev.twitter.com and register an application to get your API credentials. Make sure you request Read, Write & DM privileges and generate your token.

• Copy twitter-config.json.example to twitter-config.json and fill out your API details.

• Oh yeah, database stuff. Schemas are in sql/schemas.sql

• Database credentials.

TODO

• Mobile version! Figuring out reply-to is gonna be hard on mobile. I might have to go PESOS for mobile reply-to or give up that metadata.

• Optional lat & long for updates.

• Add links back to original when syndicating.

• Credentials! CREDENTIALSSSSSSsss

• Status display page

• Reply context on status display page

• Sorting in mysql-stream-db

• createWriteStream should be a through stream that re-emits rows when they have successfully written to the database. With that, we better chain together things with maps and pipes.

• RSS feed
