Play around with the twitter api and integrate the twitter gem into our project.

Can i have a bit more info on that one?

Should i create a Content Class for multiple different kinds of content that'll follow (Titter, reddit, youtube etc..)
How should the service display the content.. as links? plain text? Objectname?

Is the rails config gem important?
I mean it's nice to have all settings neatly ordered in their own files. But as long as it isn't necessary i wouldn't install it (yet) if it doesn't speed up or simplifies anything.

In this ticket I just want to integrate the gem with the right creditals, so the creditals that you need to have in order to use the twitter API are stored in a local configuration file. Maybe also find out if we can get away without creditals if we just want read access for tweets. As a starter please just checkout the twitter gem and play around with it a bit.... If you need to use creditals to use it, you could use the https://github.com/railsconfig/config thing to be able to store creditals locally without checking them into git (the development.local.yml or however it is called should go into gitignore) and have the setting com in through ENV vars in production: https://railsapps.github.io/rails-environment-variables.html

seems like i need credentials.. did you register [email protected] ? I tried to do that to setup a twitter acc. If it's yours it would be nice if you could send me the PW via Whatsapp or Signal
