  74. …in reply to @v21
    you either need a unassociated mobile phone number, or you need to do a complicated dance yourself... or i build an insecure site to do it
  75. (the heroku tradeoff is that it costs $7 per month if you want a bot that can respond any time, not just scheduled. but more people use it)
  76. …in reply to @godtributes
    .@godtributes is a good example of a bot that wouldn't run on their free dynos

  81. @GalaxyKate so I have bodged Tracery around and made it work in node.js, and packaged up as a npm package.
  82. …in reply to @v21
    @GalaxyKate but it's a bit ugly, and I'm not good enough at JS to make it work in both contexts at once.
  83. …in reply to @v21
    @GalaxyKate It'd be good to have it on npm, but I'm not sure I can commit to keeping it maintained. Are you interested in the node version?
  84. Pizza cat finally came but I missed him! 🙀
