Now that we have a web app that runs regularly, tweeting personalized news to users, let's move on to the next obvious step, which is creating a database where the Twitter bot can pick up user information. Currently, we have hardcoded this information into the bot, which is not ideal. To create a database, let us use a MongoDB hosting service called mlab.com.
Be aware that for legal reasons, if you decide to make the bot publicly available, you may have to inform users that the bot will store users' personal information.
