Nice idea. But if you're already using IFTTT, check out this recipe which can schedule a tweet via Google Calendar:

OP here -- happy to answer anything that's not clear in the post!

Nicely done.

Any thoughts on doing a browser-level extension to bypass the email step?

I do love the data retention of this though.

This is why programming is fun - you can make things that are quite literally worth money for your own self.

I haven't looked into it yet, but it shouldn't be too hard. If nothing more, it could be a simple wrapper over the existing email protocol.

You're spot on about why coding is fun!

Edit: thanks, btw!

Way to show off on your side project :)
