If you have buffer, you'll see the "add to buffer" on HN itself. Since what you built is so similar to buffer and given Buffer's popularity, was wondering if there's some more info beyond a buffer like app. My comment is somewhat snarky, but I assume if it's on HN, there's a good reason for it to be there.
Not saying you shouldn't build things that already exist, just that generally when someone builds something that already exists there are other reasons for building it. Having had the whole code reuse thing bashed into my head, I typically have to have a good reason for reinventing the wheel.
I'm not sure. This was only meant to be a quick little hack - wanted to see if I could get it done in a few hours overnight and launch it. This is just a bit of fun - nothing is planned for after New Years.
If anyone is wondering if it works I am happy to report that it does! The first New Years tweet was sent out about an hour ago in the Asia/Kolkata timezone.
