Ultimate Thread for testing all our use cases #728

Closed saurabhsri108 closed 3 years ago

saurabhsri108 commented 3 years ago

I hereby suggest this thread with 279 tweets, maintained since last 2 years for testing all our use cases: https://twitter.com/ARanganathan72/status/924574125938503680

Some use cases I can think of:

Able to create a thread of complete tweets using any tweetid in that thread. Basically going upward to pull the first tweet and then scroll to the bottom. Something like that. This will require a new flag, it seems.

Holy Crap!! This is a whole book!

Our puppeteer code is simply not ready for this.

Plus, this would definitely fail on Serverless.

We'd need to test our limits.

@PuruVJ True. You can always trust that person [Prof. Anand] to blow up any platform he goes. Lol. [Fanboy mode]

I know this tweet by Anand Ranganath. Good sample tweet @vasu001. There are some more tweets in the Indian political space which we can use but I focused on tech Twitter so far. I think trueindology and saiswaroopa also have such long threads

saurabhsri108 commented 3 years ago

I tried finding threads with more than 100 tweets. His threads were the only one that popped up. I think it will push our code to all test limits. We can focus on solving the technical problem here rather than politics. This thread is gold for that.

another 100 + thread this

saurabhsri108 commented 3 years ago

This shows that only politics can bring up this much length in twitter. Lol

this is a long Disney thread for movies: https://twitter.com/disneyplus/status/1183715613266440192

@PuruVJ do you think you could include gif in the output 😉

PuruVJ commented 3 years ago

@johnjacobkenny I can't add GIF, as it simply wouldn't make sense for Kindle devices, but I'll add a GIF tag and a play button, which will open up Kindle's in built browser

The Twitter API limit we have now is 100, so no, I don't think we'd be able to do this. We could make it return the first 100 tweets.

Sounds good, I think the issue I raised might be because of this limit. #730
