Background (What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)

I built this GitHub Action to create a more engaging and personal experience for people who support your projects. When users star my repositories, I wanted to show them my appreciation and start a conversation on Twitter.
I hope that this action will encourage communication among engineers around the world.😉

How I built it (How did you utilize GitHub Actions or GitHub Codespaces? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)

I use this template (https://github.com/actions/typescript-action).It' easy to start GitHub Action for TS engineer.
While building this GitHub Action, I learned how to work with the Twitter API and how to effectively use webhooks to create automated workflows.
