Dogfooding my own library is allowing me to find new use-cases and gaps resulting in expanding it's capabilities!

This is a short write up on how the streaming support was added and refined later.

Viel Spaß mit Syntaxhighlighting 😂

Klar. Mit Syntaxhighlighting, wie Notepad++ auch.

Ich würde mir ja wünschen, dass man bei Twitter Programmiercode mit Syntaxhighlighting anzeigen kann...
Aber auf den jahrelangen Wunsch, dass man eigene Tweets nachträglich ändern kann, gab es eine nervige "Beste Tweets zuerst" Sortierung.
Daher besser nichts wünschen.

The missing highlighting for Kotlin is also very subtle.

The flipping of highlighted code is negligible unless you are really looking for it. If you know you just know, and if that bothers you, this is not for you! 🙃

At least it makes me happy! 😄
