Hi @githubUser01946! It is done here directly, with GitHub Actions. I set up an Action that runs every hour, and this Action just launches the script that selects a line from the file and posts it on Twitter and Mastodon. This is the Action: https://github.com/jesusjimsa/beatles-lyrics-every-hour/blob/master/.github/workflows/send_tweet.yml There is also a limitation from GitHub that disables Actions on repositories that haven't been active for a month (no commits). So I also set up an action that creates a dummy commit and pushes it. It just writes the current date once a month to keep everything running. This is the one for dummy commits: https://github.com/jesusjimsa/beatles-lyrics-every-hour/blob/master/.github/workflows/update_repo.yml |

For Mastodon, I use an API called Mastodon.py: https://github.com/halcy/Mastodon.py It's very easy, I had it ready pretty fast. |

Cool, thanks!
Is there a tutorial somewhere so I can get something up and running?
