ITWSCBot

This is the Twitter bot for isthatwordspelledcorrectly.com. It is a Docker container that tweets one correctly spelled word every 7 hours. Check it out at @ITWSCBot.

Deploying

First, create a file /env.config with your Twitter API keys, following /env.config.example.

Build the image:

./build.sh

Tag the image as itwscbot_latest and push it to your docker repo:

./tag.sh YOUR_DOCKER/REPO

Create a file /docker-production.yml with the following contents:

services:
  itwscbot:
    image: YOUR_DOCKER_HUB/REPO:itwscbot_latest

Deploy it to your docker context:

./deploy.sh YOUR_DOCKER_CONTEXT

Etc

The words list /safe_words was obtained the following way:

Take this english words list and this list of obscene words and run

rg -v -f obscene_words english_words > safe_words

to remove all instances of obscene words from the english words, and pipe that to a new file.

Note that I am removing all occurrences of the obscene words, even when occurring as a substring. I am falling prey to the Scunthorpe Problem. But I think the resulting list is more interesting with so many common words removed.
