# Soviet Art Bot v.20

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/veekaybee/soviet-art-bot.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/veekaybee/soviet-art-bot) 

[![contributions welcome](https://img.shields.io/badge/contributions-welcome-brightgreen.svg?style=flat)](https://github.com/dwyl/esta/issues)

Latest Updates: 

---

+ Fixing the html escape issue where apostrophes get rendered into hideous HTML representations by adding some [unescapes](https://github.com/veekaybee/soviet-art-bot/blob/35d13d788e1f8237b562176bb65de20ad5d3d598/lambda/lambda_function.py#L41-L42)

+ Adding some 12-factor principles by not storing my Twitter credentials in the app, but in SSM instead and pulling them in through [Travis-CI](https://github.com/veekaybee/soviet-art-bot/blob/master/build_env.sh)
