Twit is an Amazon Alexa skill kit which allows the user to say things such as "Alexa, ask Twitter get tweets from {username}" and returns a set list of tweets in order from recent to old from that username.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
- Node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
- A valid Twitter app. After getting the keys/callback URL, go into index.js and paste them there.
- Any sort of IDE, personally I prefer Notepad++ or Atom.
- A valid Amazon account that is registered for Alexa development.
