Conner Bondurant 5ac4879f02 Improve handling and allow for exclusion of hostname
This allows for the removal of "https://twitter.com/"
This could be more convinent as you simply replace "twitter.com" with
twtfix.me in the url, removing having to type http:// each time

also added additional error handling just to avoid messy 500 errors.

TwitFix

very basic flask server that fixes twitter embeds in discord by using youtube-dl to grab the direct link to the MP4 file and embeds the link to it in a custom page

This does work! but I'm new to flask, so it can probably be improved a great deal.

How to use (discord side)

just put the url to the server,and directly after, the full URL to the tweet you want to embed

How to run (server side)

this script uses the youtube-dl python module, along with flask, so install those with pip (you can use pip install -r requirements.txt) and start the server with python twitfix.py ( will need sudo if you leave it at port 80 )

By default I have the port set to 80, just cause that's what was convenient for me, but it can easily be changed, either using an environment variable, or changing the bottom line of the script itself
