Open scripting opened 2 years ago
This worked for me. A new tweet showed up in the outline as expected.
Thanks for the quick test @mistersugar.
I should have mentioned that the outlines are public, on GitHub, so anyone can see what's developing there.

I love the idea of using GH as a public storage system. ;-)
Nice, it worked as expected for me. This should be a good option to use Twitter to capture quick thoughts. And threads work too, nice!
I do have a couple of questions, please excuse if they don't fit your thought process yet.
All said, an interesting change, Dave!
@am1t — glad it worked. I’ll have comments tomorrow (in my time zone).
Looks good. I signed in and after posting a tweet saw it pop up soon in Drummer.
One small thing:
Somewhere in the process special characters -- the ampersand and curly quotation marks -- were translated into code, such as "&" changing to "&"...
These changes of characters to code were visible in the Github outline and in the Drummer instant outline.
@am1t -- glad you like tweets.opml.org. :-)
daytona.ping will index any public OPML file you want to include in your index. You don't have to include the collection param because it defaults to drummeruser, which is what you want for this call. Note the re-indexing is not automatic for these files since they aren't managed by drummer.scripting.com.
It's supposed to work with tweets-with-links, but now that you mention it, that doesn't appear to be working. I'll have a look.
I can confirm I have my tweets indexed too now. This is so brilliant. I want all my writing indexed and searchable in Daytona now. Thank you, Dave 👍🏽
I logged on to http://tweets.opml.org with my twitter account. The link to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scripting/tweets.opml.org/master/users/johnjohnston/tweets.opml is 404 I've tried with Safari (Version 14.1.2 ) & Firefox (95.0.1) on mac and Safari on iPad with the same result.
I tried choosing "Check my Tweets.." from the menu and see: { "ctNewTweets": 0, "ctSecs": 0.187 } in the console. I have posted to twitter and tried again.
Cheers

@troutcolor Try posting a tweet with no link included. The system seems for now to ignore tweets that have links.

@scotthansonde that did the trick. I’d guess nearly all of my tweets have a link in them. Thanks.
Just posted a change note about tweets.opml.org.
This is version 1.4.3.
If you want to help test, post a few tweets and see if they show up in your OPML file on GitHub. Knock wood, I think we're good to go now.
I tested with a few tweets. They do show up as expected. Even those with links (though the links are shortened, with t.co domain). Nice!
Briefly tested and working. I also note that emoji are now displaying my tweets opml in drummer :-)
This is important.
My OPML file is now located here.
And yours is located in a similar location.
I have modified the app so that it displays this URL on the home page.
There are two reasons this is a better URL.
The server will continue to update the GitHub file and keep the archive on GitHub.
This is a better one to share and to subscribe to.
A different URL for your OPML file
This one looks and sounds a lot better than the raw GitHub one. Great! 👍🏽
@am1t -- yeah that was a mistake -- this is a much better url.
also I have code that converts the t.co link to its real link, but that depends on t.co cooperating, but it's unreliable.
for now it's simpler just not to try.

Yeah, just wanted to report. I think it's OK to not worry about the shortened URL, for now.
@am1t, @troutcolor -- thanks for the quick confirmation the new software works.
Now I can relax while eating my lunch and start thinking about the next thing I am going to try to finish today or tomorrow.
As always I tend to juggle a few balls concurrently. 😀
New tweets showed up on my github outline just now, yes.
I fleshed out the readme file on the tweets.opml.org site.
We were doing the archives incorrectly. The way it should work is a folder for every year, and inside the folder, the months are 01.opml, 02.opml and so on. I fixed the app so it now does it correctly, and deleted the archive folder for each user. An example of a correct structure, look at the archive for cluelessnewbie. The next time you post a tweet, it will start creating a correctly structured archive.

When I try to log in to tweets.opml.org I end up this :
That's after using my email address for a 2nd time trying to log in to twitter.
@cbates- that's not my dialog. what did you do, the actual steps.
It works in Firefox, found my url on the tweets.opml.org Menu. Thanks --
@cbates - I figured it was something like that. Not sure what it means.
Here's the announcement.
Please read the docs. Thank you. 😀
