Twindle: Ultimate Thread for testing all our use cases

[vasudeveloper001]

I hereby suggest this thread with 279 tweets, maintained since last 2 years for testing all our use cases: https://twitter.com/ARanganathan72/status/924574125938503680

Some use cases I can think of:

Able to create a thread of complete tweets using any tweetid in that thread. Basically going upward to pull the first tweet and then scroll to the bottom. Something like that. This will require a new flag, it seems.

Holy Crap!! This is a whole book!

Our puppeteer code is simply not ready for this.

Plus, this would definitely fail on Serverless.

We'd need to test our limits.

@PuruVJ True. You can always trust that person [Prof. Anand] to blow up any platform he goes. Lol. [Fanboy mode]

I know this tweet by Anand Ranganath. Good sample tweet @vasu001. There are some more tweets in the Indian political space which we can use but I focused on tech Twitter so far. I think trueindology and saiswaroopa also have such long threads

[vasudeveloper001]

I tried finding threads with more than 100 tweets. His threads were the only one that popped up. I think it will push our code to all test limits.
We can focus on solving the technical problem here rather than politics. This thread is gold for that.

This shows that only politics can bring up this much length in twitter. Lol

@PuruVJ do you think you could include gif in the output 😉

[PuruVJ]

@johnjacobkenny I can't add GIF, as it simply wouldn't make sense for Kindle devices, but I'll add a GIF tag and a play button, which will open up Kindle's in built browser

The Twitter API limit we have now is 100, so no, I don't think we'd be able to do this. We could make it return the first 100 tweets.

Sounds good, I think the issue I raised might be because of this limit. #730
