Tweeting From The Terminal #

I’m still working on open sourcing the code but it works something like this:

1. Set up an app at developer.twitter.com
2. Use those credentials to do local authentication
3. I use nodejs to run an express server so auth can happen in a browser
4. Get the tokena and save it locally, it’s long lived so it can just be reused until revoked by the user
5. Post using token
