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.

I'd appreciate any feedback :)

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.

dolater.io runs your background tasks in a scalable environment.

Wrap your workers in a docker image and queue tasks to it, dolater.io will process the queue as fast as possible.

It's currently in a very early stage, I would like to get some feedback, opinions, know missing features you'd need, etc.

For now it works with hub.docker.com public images.

It's not ready for production usage yet, but I'd like to get your feedback anyway as if you were considering it for your production environment.

Great experiment, but I wonder how usefull can be a bunch of people playing a game without any knowledge of biomedicine.

I worked from home for a year.

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.

Also, try to meet your friends more often.
