I am not getting any reminders from this

shalvah commented 1 year ago

Twitter has a tweet limit. You're not guaranteed to get replies. https://twitter.com/RemindMe_OfThis/status/1605877322082574336

Also, with the new Twitter API changes, there's no guarantee this bot will keep working.

Still you've all the reminder data. Why don't you export it to each user's Google Calendar as event so as to get rid of each user's tweet reminder backlog?

You just would add an iCal/Google Cal subscription in your web app.

What do you think?

Yeah, I have considered that, but it's not as easy as you make it sound. The iCal part is super easy, but:

I'd have to set up infrastructure for that export (am I sending via email? that means I'd need to configure an email service)
I'd still have to work with the Twitter API to authenticate users and fetch their emails (I currently don't ask for this)

I quite frankly do not have the desire or time to spend on it.

Also, because of the nature of the storage I'm using, fetching all reminders for a user is not a trivial task. I can find a way around it, but again, I don't have that motivation.

I hope you won't disappoint these 554K+ users and the popularity you maintained over time. Just tweet about your problems with this handle and your followers will be there for you :)

Open-source community can help.

If you are so sure of it being deprecated why don't you just create an export button that downloads the .csv file with all the users' reminders in it?
