Twitter Client is a basic twitter app to read and compose tweets the Twitter API.
Time spent: 7 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is completed:
- Tweet Details Page: User can tap on a tweet to view it, with controls to retweet, favorite, and reply.
- Profile page:
- Contains the user header view
- Contains a section with the users basic stats: # tweets, # following, # followers
- Home Timeline: Tapping on a user image should bring up that user's profile page
- Compose Page: User can compose a new tweet by tapping on a compose button.
The following optional features are implemented:
- When composing, you should have a countdown in the upper right for the tweet limit.
- After creating a new tweet, a user should be able to view it in the timeline immediately without refetching the timeline from the network.
- Profile Page
- Implement the paging view for the user description.
- As the paging view moves, increase the opacity of the background screen. See the actual Twitter app for this effect
- Pulling down the profile page should blur and resize the header image.
- Account switching
- Long press on tab bar to bring up Account view with animation
- Tap account to switch to
- Include a plus button to Add an Account
- Swipe to delete an account
The following additional features are implemented:
- List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!
Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):
- I would like to discuss how to avoid repeating code in the case of the same tableView for example in 2 distinct view contollers.
- I would also like to discuss more about working with complex systems.
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.
The main challenge was figuring out how to make everything work together as the project got more complex.

Twitter Client is a basic twitter app to read and compose tweets the Twitter API.
Time spent: 8 hours spent in total
The following required functionality is completed:
- User can sign in using OAuth login flow
- User can view last 20 tweets from their home timeline
- The current signed in user will be persisted across restarts
- In the home timeline, user can view tweet with the user profile picture, username, tweet text, and timestamp.
- Retweeting and favoriting should increment the retweet and favorite count.
The following optional features are implemented:
- User can load more tweets once they reach the bottom of the feed using infinite loading similar to the actual Twitter client.
- User should be able to unretweet and unfavorite and should decrement the retweet and favorite count.
- User can pull to refresh.

Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):
- I would like to discuss oAuth 1.0 a little more.
- I would also like to discuss the concept of closures a little more.
This demonstrates the retweeting and favoriting capabilities:

I ran into a really weird error with my table view. I eventually fixed the problem by deleting a UILabel and replacing it. Also, oAuth was relatively challenging to learn.
