Sharing plain code on Twitter? Stop!! 🔥
Are you sharing plain code on twitter or out of context?
Problem?
Well, when I started sharing code or posting on twitter I found it's tough for people to understand the code or language.
Most of the time I have to reply to the same tweet what it's all about. more often I notice people are not engaging my twitter or not seem interesting in it. Then how do I engage them?
Solutions!
Many ways to engage people on twitter but more specifically we are looking at sharing code snippets. Options are :
- Carbon
- Graphite-Shot
- Polacode
- Mac Screenshot
