Twitter @designernewsbot Suggestion

over 8 years ago from Diesel Laws, I design products and experiences.

I enjoy seeing auto-tweets come through from DN through Twitter, but it does irk me that I can't see the comments that link to that article on DN (without visiting DN and finding that submission).

Can I suggest to whomever controls that account, that they change the post submission to be LINK TO ITEM and LINK TO DN COMMENTS - similar to Hacker News bot:

TWEET: "Will Computers Redefine the Roots of Math? http://bit.ly/1Ftq2kJ (cmts http://bit.ly/1EW9Nbl )"

Apologies if this isn't the right place for this post.

The bot is open-source, so you could always send a pull request. I sent one awhile back and he merged it pretty quickly.

The DN Bot is made by Ceaser Figueroa. Not sure how to get in touch with him, but he's the man who'd be able to do this.

  Thanks so much! Contacted him on Twitter. I guess we'll be voting on it?

I just made a bot for this: https://twitter.com/dnewsbot
Is someone able to add this to the "Things" page on here?
Just realized that I hit rate limits during testing. Bot will be fully functional tomorrow. Right now, I'm getting the error "User is over daily status update limit. " when posting.

  I've made a tumblr bot months ago and submitted to Things, still no feedback.

  Thank you for this. The main bot asked people what they wanted and haven't changed - so I have since changed over to this one. Much appreciated. I'd keep pinging to be put on THINGS page.

I have made also good bot https://twitter.com/devnewsbot - curated articles for web designers and developers from about ~ 20 websites.

seems like it'd be easier to always drive to the comments rather than the destination, especially with the short format.
