Layout

The basic app layout is pretty straight forward:

• Top left is a shinyAce editor to put in the code you want to send to carbon.js using the button above it.
• Bottom left is where the images come out to preview them in a slickR carousel.
  • Remember only 4 images per tweet, more images will automatically be converted into a gif
• Bottom right is a button to import images from you local machine into the carousel
  • Handy for capture screen and what not…
• Top right is where you construct your tweet for rtweet.
  • The app uses the System Variable ‘TWITTER_SCREEN_NAME’ as the tweeting handle.
  • You can reply to tweet by inserting the tweet id into the ‘enter reply status id’ field
  • Write your post into the text area, don’t worry about handles for a reply that is taken care for you under the hood.
  • Your character count is shown above the text area for convenience. If there are reply handles that are added the character count will take them into account.
