Tweet Scheduler Web App

A Flask-based web application that allows users to schedule tweets. The app utilizes the Tweepy library for tweeting and the gspread library for storing tweet data in a spreadsheet. It provides a user-friendly interface for creating and managing tweet schedules.

Features

• Schedule Tweets: Create and schedule tweets to be posted at specific dates and times.
• Tweet Management: View and delete scheduled tweets.
• Automatic Tweet Posting: A worker script (tweet.py) continuously runs in the background, checking the scheduled tweets, and automatically posts them at the specified times.
• Spreadsheet Integration: The app updates a spreadsheet using the gspread library, for the storage and tracking of tweet data.
