Inspired by a series of awesome Twitter bots that tweet seemingly random, but hilarious messages such as BoredElonMusk or thinkpiecebot, I set out to create some of my own. One that tweets random ideas for board games, and the other (that ties to a fiction project I’ve had in progress for some time) that tweets how the world ended. I didn’t want to spend too much time initially on the project, and someone recommended a site called cheapbotsdonequick.com, which does what its name implies, and is powered by Tracery, an open source Twitter bot library, meaning I could self-host when I was ready.
