Edge case to consider. The bot will throw an error if it runs out of frames but it will do just that. Wake up, throw an error, go to bed.
In this case it needs to:

1. recognize to not turn on anymore & communicate that to AWS
2. ideally, sends an email or some kind of message to me or stephen

Need to get this bad boy off my laptop and onto a server of some kind. Whether that's Lambda or EC2 it just needs to be able to run independently.
As a part of that it needs to:

1. run at a set interval
2. check for flags such as errors and stop running / notify me

Frames seem to be ~one second early according to napkin calculations i.e. frame # = 24f * Xs, s.t. X: number of seconds into the movie. I must have an indexing error somewhere. This is my reminder to check that.

Optimization is something I overlooked in order to make something functional.

A (likely incomplete) list of things to review

• base64 encoding vs binary encoding for tumblr
• filesystem nonsense
  • array swap logic
  • should be using a db instead, right?

Would be cool to hook this up to an API that can take images and describe what's in the image and add it to the alt text so everyone can enjoy the acount. Will come back to it later.

made some sloppy code in fs.ts today and wrestled with it a bunch. need to go back and clean it up.

looks like on the aws the initial computation occurs and is then followed by an echo. figure out what it is and why it's happening to reduce potential costs.

Core feature! Needs to be able to post to Tumblr too. Take the time to explore Tumblr APIs and post duplicates to Twitter.

Probably best to perfect the Twitter side of things and then abstract to Tumblr.
