🐿 In a nutshell

The introduction of the new Twitter API Plans has caused problems for several small products that depend on Twitter.

As a result, Mailbrew, the tool I use to send ASD and analyze popular tweets from a predetermined list of the AWS Security community, has ceased to function correctly for the Twitter module.

However, this issue is expected to be resolved soon (I hope), as Mailbrew was recently acquired by EV.

In the meantime, I plan to develop my own tool to replace tweets analysis section. My goal is to ensure that my newsletter remains independent of external products.
