Tweets

An off-site archive of tweets from Twitter.

Setup

1. Set up the database. Go to github.com/cheeaun/tweet-couch, do everything there, come back here.

2. Fork or git clone or download this repo. Everything is pure client-side, so you can host it on any static web hosts, like GitHub Pages.

3. Modify config.js. Should be self-explanatory.

4. Test it on local to see if everything works.

   cd tweets/
   npm install
   grunt connect
   

5. Load locahost:8000.

6. If everything is okay, upload to GitHub pages or any server you like.

7. Done.
