Question about features

Hey!
Your tool looks very close already to what I am looking for.

Specifically, I would like to automate these three tasks:

(1) follow-when-retweeted

When someone retweets one of my retweets, I would like to automatically follow them, and put them in a list, for later manual inspection (whether to mute them or even unfollow again, always needs visual inspection). Of course, it makes sense to first check whether I am already following them anyways.

(2) unfollow-wait-and-follow-again

Intention: To send them a trigger to check me out (again).

Condition on accounts:

• I am following them, but they do not follow me back yet.
• They are not in a (manual) blacklist of accounts that I do want want to bother with this.

Steps:

1. Find all above accounts.
2. one by one: Unfollow. Wait a minute or a day. Follow them again.
3. after 3 days, check whether that was successful.

Perhaps the twitter API has a daily quota for stuff like that? Then have the script end in a way that the remaining batch can be done on the next day.

(3) retweet my own tweets

Reason: I am awake while the main group of my followers is sleeping.
Intention: Give more people a chance to see a "best of" my recent tweets.

Steps:

1. I compile a list of (e.g. a dozen, or a hundred) of my own tweet URLs.
2. one by one: (possibly undo the retweet, then) retweet the tweet.
3. there should be e.g. an hour between those retweets, perhaps two retweets at at time.

Detail: I want retweets without additional comment, so no new tweet is created.

Questions:

• Is any of those possible with your tool?
• If not, how complicated would it be to add it? Where exactly would I start to look into your code?
• Which other tool should I check out?
• Did you have any hints for me, while reading the above?

Thanks a million! Keep up the good work!

Found my own approach, using python tweepy. Thanks!
