@glaslos what exactly do you want to do?

I was thinking we could setup a GitHub action that posts on social media on a new blog post.

Hey @hgascon, I am thinking of solving this issue by configuring a GitHub Action to detect when a new blog entry is published. Upon detection, the workflow triggers a script to post to Twitter via the Twitter API.

• We can start by setting up access to Twitter’s API, which means creating a Twitter Developer account to get the necessary API keys.
• Once we have those, we can safely store them as secrets in the GitHub repository.
• From there, we can set up a workflow in GitHub Actions. This workflow can automatically detect when a new blog post is published and run a script to send out a tweet with the post’s title and link.
• Hence manual tweeting won't be necessary.

Can you assign this issue to me so I can implement the solution.
