A few questions.... #66

Hi,

We found this whilst looking for alternatives to Buffer. Nice find...

We've had a look through the site, the docs and a little of the code. The designs seem sensible (what do we know though :) )

We do have a few questions:

  1. We wondered how active this community is. We can see commits in April 16 but nothing for a year previously. This might be that the software is so good it doesn't need many changes :)
  2. Is there any way to do a bulk upload, e.g. from a CSV file? We were looking to load up a couple of hundred less important Twitter messages to be sent during the week. These would be non time critical messages such as links for training materials. how to do things, stuff that wouldn't make any real difference if it was an hour or even a day late in comparison to mission critical updates such as real time traffic information. This is something we might like to add ourselves back into your codebase. We used to know PHP very well (around 10 years ago) but haven't touched it since. From looking at the API docs it appears that most of the hard work is done in the front web app and not in the backend. This would imply that we would have to mimic that logic in our upload app, which might be easy and might not be.

Thanks again for doing this

Rob
