I’ve been working on a new project that requires lots of different social sign in providers. This meant I needed to learn what OAuth is and how to create the APIs to communicate with OAuth providers like Facebook, Google, Github and… Twitter. The first three providers were very easy to work with, Twitter was not. I spent about five hours reading Twitter’s documentation, going through blog post and libraries and writing code.

A few weeks ago I got an email from a user in Australia, it read “I uploaded a bank statement and nothing happens How do I see the converted file?”. I took a look at my Grafana dashboards and figured out this user had uploaded an image based PDF, probably a scanned bank statement. I’ve replied to quite a few users telling us that scanned documents don’t work. I fished out a reply from my sent folder and sent it to this user.
