screencap: 

This site was a personal project and came about after a quick search for a service like this turned up little of any use. Note To Self is a site that is of use to people that use Twitter a lot. The premise is fairly simple. I found myself tweeting notes to myself quite often, but never got back to them. The idea behind Note To Self is to provide a handy way of finding them and, if signed in, marking them as complete.

The site is built on PHP with a little PEAR for template and database connections. curl is used to search twitter for a selection of hash tags. The result is saved to the local database and saved for later viewing by users of the site.

As of this writing Twitter allows their status messages to be searched back over the last 2 weeks. With this being the easiest access I've decided to work Note To Self on the same basis. Any notes that we save are deleted after 2 weeks in a nightly general clean up if the user has not signed in to the site.

Note To Self does not maintain any user accounts on the site itself. Twitter provides an OAuth interface that allows us to recognise a user that has approved the site and from that we determine if a user is "logged in" or not. Once a user is logged in a flag is switched which prevents their notes being deleted in the general clean up and enables a tick box that allows the use to mark the note as complete which removes it from view.

It's simple, functional and not much more.

There are plans to expand on what it can do, but these will need to wait until time allows for it.
