$ fortune | cowsay // on twitter

ayyyyyyyy lmao

This is was a super late passion project that may have been completed after a few drinks. It's a dumb app, and was done purely for enjoyment.

Basically it runs $ fortune through a sentiment analysis API, and based on the result, changes the cow's eyes (^^,oo,ಠಠ), and then tweets out the result to twitter.

These links provided a lot of value
