## Notes



Challenges:

- Creating re-usable view for common elements such as retweet text or tweet actions buttons.

- Creating "Compose view" delegate to be implemented by both Home and Tweet views.

- Dealing with Twitter API rate limitation and quirks (i.e. "user.favourites_count" vs "tweet.favorite_count")

- Visual bugs not obvious to solve, resolved with not-so-clean fixes (e.g [here](https://github.com/flochtililoch/tuitteur/blob/master/Tuitteur/MenuViewController.m#L72), [here](https://github.com/flochtililoch/tuitteur/blob/master/Tuitteur/ProfileDetailsViewController.m#L61))
