Feature: Send to Twitter on new post

[chadwithuhc]

I'd like to see each post get a tweet from the LaravelTricks twitter account. Then I could easily follow the new posts that come out. Votes?

While I like the auto-tweeting idea, here are some questions that have to be solved first:

• Will the tweets be sent out right away or using a queue or a CRON?
• What if the author decides to change the title of the trick and therefore the slug of the trick, so the trick's URL could change after the tweet is sent out.

If we were to implement this, I think we would need to add a unique hash (like "jh76dKi") as a column in the tricks table and have that as a permanent identifier beside "id" (so that the actual IDs aren't revealed). This would serve as a part of permalink that then wouldn't change no matter what the author does editing the trick.

This way something like mytricks.com/v/jh76dKi -> would redirect to actual trick.

What do you think?

I think something on at least a 15 minute delay would be nice. This would allow them to have time to go back and edit something they did wrong right after they posted it. I often do that since there is no preview option (maybe another request, but I don't think it's a necessity).

I have noticed a problem with the trick URLs changing as is. I've posted links to other tricks in the comments, then they later on changed titles and the links are now broken. A sharable URL with the unique hash would help solve that.

Maybe we create new tickets for Share URL, then come back to this.
