Show HN: Feeling Blue, Twitter verification for the rest of us
feelingblue.pages.dev
I made https://feelingblue.pages.dev, a way to "verify" your twitter account without paying the richest man in the world $100/yr.
There are three components:
- a Cloudflare Page where you submit your verification request
- a Stripe Payment Link where you pay (this is in "Test Mode" for now, I'm not charging anyone before the bugs are ironed out!)
- a chromium extension that injects a script into Twitter that pulls from the Cloudflare database and inserts "verification" emojis into twitter accordingly.
It's all a bit silly, but it was fun to work with these technologies for the first time, in particular getting Cloudflare workers to talk to Stripe webhooks.
I've published the code here: https://github.com/JacksonKearl/FeelingBlue
