Make it easier to share about github-contributions-chart HOT 9 CLOSED

Twitter could also be used as an image hosting service without requiring OAuth. 😉
Here's how it's done in carbon.now.sh:

1. Post a Tweet with your image from some predefined account.
2. Find the media link from the resulting tweet.
3. Attach this new link to your tweet composer.

• Tweet handler in carbon.now.sh: https://github.com/dawnlabs/carbon/blob/master/handlers/twitter.js
• Usage of this Tweet handler: https://github.com/dawnlabs/carbon/blob/89931eab59e2bf7bd594ba6451ff4030bccf4685/lib/api.js#L17-L27

We need to upload the image in the first place. Do you know of a service that allows to upload images for free?

I see an option which consists on using Twitter API and letting the user to upload the image in his/her Twitter account, then it's easy to tweet about it.

@SlaAls you can also use a common platform to upload image (like imgur) and then use its link to share on any social platform.

@abhishek-parmar1 I think that this plan is also good.

imgur: https://api.imgur.com/endpoints/image/

Or would you like to mutate images by Twitter OAuth authentication?

share button click → popup twitter oauth → tweet :)

Could the clipboard / file API of the browser used here?

I will try to implement such that base64 image data is requested to the server and the URL of the image is returned by Twitter API.
This is the same implementation method as https://github.com/dawnlabs/carbon.

When implementing using Twitter's API, it seems that you have to make an account and tweet there.
So, create an account and implement it.
