Allow setting your own Codebird proxy. #107

Closed cjmaio closed 9 years ago

It would be a good idea to allow setting a Codebird proxy. Theirs has been pretty unreliable in my experience (for example, while trying to set this up).

Hi @cjmaio! Could you please give little bit more details:

Hello!

The proxy I'm referring to is the Codebird proxy, which is used to get around CORS issues with Twitter's API.

See the following URL: https://github.com/jublonet/codebird-js#using-your-own-proxy-server

The reason it's important is that yesterday for a significant time, the proxy they host for Codebird was down, preventing me from testing out Twitter feed compatibility. It wasn't until I switched to using a proxy I hosted that I was able to successfully test it.

It looks like the proxy is back up, but from the issues on their repo it seems it's been having issues lately... https://github.com/jublonet/codebird-js/issues/102
