You like getting important updates from Twitter—new projects or writing or companies to learn about.
But you don't like being addicted to the feed constantly.
This val lets you get daily updates from specific people you want to follow closely. It uses AI to filter out random shitposts and only get the important updates.
You'll need a Twitter Bearer Token. Follow these instructions to get one.
Unfortunately it costs $100 / month to have a Basic Twitter Developer account. If you subscribe to Val Town Pro, you can ask Steve Krouse to borrow his token.
Also rate limits seem really severe which limits how useful this is :( Need to figure out workarounds...
Update the list of usernames to people you care about; change the AI prompt if you want different filtering.
Sends a daily email.
Todos:
- this should filter the twitter API call to only tweets since the last run.
- some kind of caching to avoid rate limiting
- would be nice to use the user's feed instead of a username list... but not sure how easy that is
