## What it is
A WordPress widget plugin that displays recent tweets using the Twitter API v1.1 or the anonymous Loklak API, with built-in caching to avoid rate limits. Tweets are stored in the WordPress database and refreshed on a configurable schedule.

## Use cases
- show recent tweets in a wordpress sidebar
- display a twitter feed on my blog without rate limits
- embed latest tweets widget in wordpress
- cache tweets so wordpress doesn't hit twitter api every page load
- show tweets without registering a twitter app via loklak api

## When to choose
- you run an older WordPress site (3.4–4.5 era) and want a cached recent-tweets widget
- you want an anonymous tweet feed option via the Loklak API without Twitter API keys

## When to avoid
- you use a current version of WordPress - the plugin is untested with recent releases and last updated in 2016
- you need Twitter API v2 or modern OAuth flows
- you need an actively maintained plugin with support
