Totally. We think alike. Building chatbots is what gets me excited on the weekends, so definitely not too much hassel.

Excellent. That's what I was thinking, Anna. I'll get started.

The main challenge will be to avoid getting tricked by spam tweets with that hashtag (getting misled like Tai), so at first I'd manually confirm every tweet before sending, as well as every entry into the schedule before updating the page. I'll try to have it running by April 1 so we can test it thoroughly. This will be fun!


Hey Hobson!

That Twitter bot sounds like it might be more engineering than necessary, but I'm not opposed to that.

That does sound like it could be helpful for semi-automating our process. I just wouldn't want you to spend a lot of time on it unless you find that work personally fulfilling.

If you do end up making it, I'd prefer to err on the side of semi-automation rather than full automation just to play it safe and not accidentally retweet/promote things we'd prefer not to.
