I'm thinking about sharing more on Twitter. Always be relunctant, but some of my notes might be of interest to some, and tweeting about them might bring some visibility.
It has to be as seamless as possible in my workflows, if I aim to get the hang of it.
Tweeting via CLI would be the easiest, as I always have a terminal window open - or can automate from it.
T | A command-line power tool for Twitter
- not sure if working on macOS. Need to find brew for it.

Getting started
Confirmed that Ruby is installed on my system with ruby -v.
gem install t
A Twitter API access and "App" created on Twitter are necessary.
I have already access for Twittee !projects/twittee but my app is for https://btobsales.eu/ - need to create a new one.
Getting error:

Seems it's a known one, with no resolution: 😕
Own solution?
Else I might first write my note for Twittee !projects/twittee to refresh my memory on Twitter's API, and build something myself.
Easiest workflow I can think of:
- write anywhere and copy content
- Alfred workflow with keyword
ct(Clipee Tweet) tweets content of clipboard
Danger to tweet something wrong 😅😂
Perhaps opening tweet after posting for double-check, and deleting tweet if mistake, is a fine workaround.
Moving to note:
