Solitary Slate

A Twitter bot that retweets @slate the first time they post a link, but ignores reposts.

I run this in production @SolitarySlate

How it works

The script runs as a demon, listening for @slate tweets (could be any user account, however) and then retweets if:

• There are no links in the tweet
• The first link in the tweet has not been included in a @slate tweet before

The first link in every @slate tweet is stored in a redis set.

Setup

Clone the repo, and:

npm install
cp config.json.example config.json
# fill in your twitter details
vim config.json
coffee index.coffee
