Turned my stock trading game into a native Twitter version

End of last year I built LongShortGame, a simple & fun chart-based stock trading game. So far, users played over 250,000 rounds of the game with over half a million page views--not huge, but the biggest success I had "indiehacking" :)

Now I've created a "native Twitter version" via the Twitter API:

1. A round gets tweeted with a stock chart
2. A user replies "long" (buy) or "short" (sell), and gets set up with an opening balance
3. The round gets scored after a few hours

And the weekly winner gets a prize, this week it's two coffees (on me)

It was a lot of fun to build with the Ruby Twitter Gem, AWS dynamodb & lambda. Hit me up if you have questions!
