I have a process to always follow my followers (and unfollow unfollowers) so I can DM them.
Regarding the checks, the initial free plan (just following my bot) comes with weekly checks. That means I'll fetch your followers once a week and compare with last week's, find out who is missing and sending you a DM with the list of all unfollowers. So you'll basically a weekly DM with unfollowers.
Daily, hourly and realtime plans work in the same way but with a higher frequency, but without any kind of digest, just one DM with the list of unfollowers in the time window.
Author here. I build this to learn and ship something with Elixir.
I know it's not a new idea, there are plenty of alternatives to track unfollowers, but couldn't find any that works inside twitter.
I got the idea recently reading some political tweets about a situation in my region (Catalonia, Spain). I usually follow tech people and this days they're tweeting political stuff and I wondered how many people unfollow them after those tweets.
Being a bit paranoid, how do I know you won't login as any of my users without their permission? Or in other words, if your systems get compromised, how can I be sure that my system won't get unauthorised logins?
If there's nothing queued it starts almost immediately. In some cases while testing the job finished right after queuing it and showed as completed right away. Right now it uses rabbitmq for the queue but even if I replace it I want to keep it like that.
Thank you. Regarding your needs, I assume you'll also need access to the DB and so on. I'll have to figure out how to run the jobs as close as posible to the customer database.
Having a designated office space helped a lot.
Also I did some exercise every morning before start working. That was very useful to start the day with more energy. The days I didn't do any exercise I felt more lazy. I think it's because when you actually take some time to go to the office you prepare your mind to work, but working from home you don't have this time to prepare yourself.
