Does not seem to apply as the button is disabled until the tweet has confirmed to have gone through

Some things to think about

• [ ] Twitter credentials

To tweet clips to twitter, twitter credentials are required. And in the current setup the user needs to create a twitter app, in quickQuoteNode which used express, user could just log in with their twitter account using passport.js

The problem is that the app to tweet on user's behalf requires

1. Twitter Consumer Key
2. Twitter Consumer Secret
3. Twitter Access Token
4. Twitter Access Token Secret

As far as I understood it, the first two, are part of creating a twitter app, with twitter authentication, while the second two are user specific, and the once that where taken through passportJS in quickQuoteNode express example mentioned above.

• [ ] The UI for selecting a clip segment might be confusing.

Using set in and /set out might not be as straight forward as it could be. Eg it could be connected with selections / highlight instead?

Some stuff left to do

• [ ] add, "How To" to user manual
• [ ] update user manual version number to latest version 1.0.19
• [ ] add instructions how to get Twitter credentials for settings

Leaving a note that with Firebase auth, firebase.auth.TwitterAuthProvider you can do this and get token and secret

// Using a redirect.
firebase.auth().getRedirectResult().then(function(result) {
  if (result.credential) {
    // For accessing the Twitter API.
    var token = result.credential.accessToken;
    var secret = result.credential.secret;
  }
  var user = result.user;
});

// Start a sign in process for an unauthenticated user.
var provider = new firebase.auth.TwitterAuthProvider();
firebase.auth().signInWithRedirect(provider);
