Things that will crash the app for sure

These are some things that will simply crash the app because it can’t handle them:

  • Entering gibberish into the search bar
  • Trying to open a tweet when its parent thread has tweets missing
    • Corollary: opening any tweet that is part of an extremely long reply thread will probably make the app crash
  • Any “card” (aka, a preview image or other content that gets embedded in a tweet) that isn’t recognized
    • This includes Twitter Spaces, periscope broadcasts, and other things that I haven’t taught the scraper to recognize yet
