Profile — I started this project using SimpleAuth for my Twitter login. SimpleAuth is nice. I’ve never had any problems with it. I just moved away from it this time simply because I’m using Fabric for analytics, so it made sense using TwitterKit as well. I had to redo my complete login flow but it was worth it.
