Can I Use? Twitter Bot

Joseph Geis — Fri, 10 Jul 2020 04:57:01 +0000

Hello! I made a tweetbot (Twitter bot?) that can query the Can I Use? database in your threads.

It is simple to use. All you have to do is Tweet this: @caniusebot !![query], where [query] is your query. Here's a sample:
// Detect dark theme var iframe = document.getElementById('tweet-1281446330842279937-153'); if (document.body.className.includes('dark-theme')) { iframe.src = "https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=1281446330842279937&theme=dark" }

You'll get a response within 20 seconds like this:
// Detect dark theme var iframe = document.getElementById('tweet-1281446355622178816-219'); if (document.body.className.includes('dark-theme')) { iframe.src = "https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?id=1281446355622178816&theme=dark" }

If you aren't satisfied with the response, there is also a link to your query on caniuse.com.

Did I mention that it is open source, too? It’s on my GitHub.

macOS Big Sur Modal

I made a Codepen with a macOS Big Sur-style modal overlay. I hope you like it. 😄

It uses pure CSS and Vue for the state management, but I think it could easily be turned into a React component.

COVID Counter (Coronavirus Case Counter)

I created a website that scrapes data off health agency websites and presents the number of COVID-19 cases in said jurisdictions. So far, I only have support for Orange County, CA (where I live), but I would like to add more, but would like suggestions from people who would use it.

It is live at covid.josephgeis.dev, and the source code is available on GitHub.

The front-end is static HTML/CSS, no JavaScript. The server-side is written in Python, and utilizes Flask for the routing. Each locale is a subclass, so then it is easy to manage, and less code to write.

I'm working on writing tests and documenting my code, and would like contributors. If you are interested, go check it out, and be sure to Star and Watch it on GitHub for updates on contributing.

Stay safe!
