Too Long; Didn't Read
Inspired by a series of awesome Twitter bots that tweet seemingly random, but hilarious messages such as <a href="https://twitter.com/boredelonmusk" target="_blank">BoredElonMusk</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/thinkpiecebot" target="_blank">thinkpiecebot</a>, I set out to create some of my own. One that tweets random ideas for board games, and the other (that ties to a fiction project I’ve had in progress for some time) that tweets how the world ended. I didn’t want to spend too much time initially on the project, and someone recommended a site called <a href="https://cheapbotsdonequick.com/" target="_blank">cheapbotsdonequick.com</a>, which does what its name implies, and is powered by <a href="http://www.brightspiral.com/" target="_blank">Tracery</a>, an open source Twitter bot library, meaning I could self-host when I was ready.
