This is a pretty cool twitter bot. How did you make it?

So I wrote it in Python and it utilizes the mentions timeline and status endpoints of the Twitter API, and it polls every 20 seconds (to avoid rate limiting). I then cloned the Can I Use? repo and pointed the data json to the bot worker, and it should update every night on a cron job.

I forgot to mention that it is open source on my GitHub page.
