AklaBot - The Coding Quote Twitter Bot 🤖

AklaBot is your friendly coding quote Twitter bot developed using Spring Boot and the Twitter4J API. It's here to sprinkle your Twitter feed with coding wisdom and humor. 🚀💻

How It Works

AklaBot is designed to bring a smile to your face through coding quotes. At specific intervals, the bot tweets out random coding quotes sourced from a predefined .txt file. The magic happens through the synergy of Spring Boot's scheduling and the Twitter4J API.

Let the Laughter Begin! 😂

   twitter4j.oauth.accessToken=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
   twitter4j.oauth.accessTokenSecret=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

3. Customize Quotes

Add your own coding quotes to src/main/resources/tweets.txt. Each quote should be on a new line.

4. Build and Run
