Took about a week, couple hours each day, because I had small chunks of code here and there that I could reuse and repurpose. So when I saw that tweet from Tony, I realized this would be basically the cover generator + Twitter API tinkering combined. Again, that led me to a whole world of discoveries, open source contributions, and lots of digging in the Twitter API.
