Almost back at 100% after rona. Going to take the next couple of weeks to relax and recharge before the new year. Then will be launching @bookmarksy_io !

Finally back with the land of the living after having rona again. Time to get back to building 😈

One of the most important features of @bookmarksy_io is it’s ability to reach out to Twitters API and retrieve a given users bookmarks.

Getting a list of users bookmarks is the easy bit. You can make a call to... 1/n 👇

What's a database hosting solution that doesn't break the bank? Looking at serverless AWS (aurora) but costs are high without free tier.

At this point it looks like @bookmarksy_io 's largest running cost will be the database 😅

Maybe @digitalocean ?

I just spent most of yesterday evening implementing Oauth2 flow with twitter for @bookmarksy_io by hand, then discovered an SDK that handled almost all of what I'd just spent four hours building by hand 🙃

The idea for @bookmarksy_io 🚀 started with a simple statement:

“I wish I could get an email of my twitter bookmarks every week so I didn’t stop forgetting them. Something like The Morning Brew”

Working on some dashboard mockups in @figma for @bookmarksy_io

Very rough around the edges. Almost don't want to show them.
