TwitBlog (working title) gathers tweets based on search parameters and orders them chronologically so they can be easily inserted into a blog post. It uses the Twitter Search API to do all the heavy lifting and parses the resulting ATOM feed.
Updates
Added a third option to the form: Raw HTML. If selected, it renders the HTML version of each tweet in a text box for easier copying.
Usernames can now be included. If the box is checked, the view function appends "&show_user=true" to the end of the view.
Also, added an explainer under the form and cleaned up the instructions. Hopefully, it's all pretty intuitive.
Friends are alpha testing. Initial response is good. Looking into feature requests:
- export as a text file or email
- include usernames (and maybe avatars, timestamps)
From idea to prototype in under two hours. This is why I love Django.
Some simple form processing and one view gets the job done, doing pretty much everything I need, which admittedly wasn't much, but it works.
