How I Built a Secure REST API to Organize My Twitter Bookmarks
The Problem
My Twitter bookmark list was a graveyard. Hundreds of saved tweets — digital art, career advice, ai news — with no way to find anything. Twitter's native bookmarks have zero organization. I needed a way to save a URL, tag it, and pull it back up later. Currently, Twitter does have a folder system, but it is locked behind a pay wall.
So I built one. A backend REST API with exactly three features: store a bookmark, tag it, and filter by tag. No Chrome extension, no AI auto-tagging, no slick UI. Just a backend I could actually ship.
