Anymously send thunder to anyone via Twitter.

Just for laughs, it lets you send different flavors of thunder to anyone, anonymously. After submiting the form on the website, a tweet is posted via @sendthunder, mentioning the recipient and telling them what you have sent them.

Unfortunately for them, "Back to sender" doesn't work.

Why not?

Even though I have access to the Twitter API, I thought it was too risky.

The tweets are posted automatically by an applet on IFTTT. Unfortunately, they have a limit of 100 tweets per day for Twitter applets.

More than 100 requests came in very quickly in the morning of the first day, so I had to limit things to 7 requests per hour as you'll find in server/index.js

Twitter doesn't like unsolicited mentions via automated sources (someone gracefully pointed me to the TOS), and after a while, they start to filter your tweets from the timelines of others, or even worse, suspend your account (the inevitable demise).
