The poet this twitter bot i had earlier, had several issues, like being too expensive to host, and not being able to use reliably. It was time to change this.

This website doesn't have an API, so I remade the entire website, and made a Twitter bot.

Often times, after seeing a tweet, I go to https://poet.so to take a screenshot of it. However, this was kinda time consuming and stuff like that, but poet.so doesnt even have an API, so I create a selenium script that (very quickly) uses poet.so to take screenshots of a tweet.

When I got started with programming, everywhere I went, I saw (good), but paid services. I would see them and say to myself “I really want to buy that when I get the money... It will help a lot”... And then, I came to know about Github’s student developer pack. But.... I got rejected... 15 times....

Github student benefits and the 15 rejections i faced to get 50+ services, for free.

A couple months ago, I wrote a blog Introducing Cakecutter, which was, essentially, a modular version for create-python-project. I made them and forgot about it. But little did I know, small projects go a long way.

On 28th April, I published this blog, challenging myself to grow a twitter bot account to 1000 followers in 100 days. Well, I HUGELY underestimated the possibilities. I managed to get to 750 (1000) followers in just 21 days!

I'm a very lazy person, and always procrastinate on the smallest of things - opening the image editor, and making a good blog banner would always be the "extra" thing I had to do every time I wrote something. So, I made a script that generates them for me in milliseconds!

I was tired of making banners for my blogs, so I automated it
