I didn't have many issues while implementing this first part of the Twitter app. However, I was stuck on one issue for a very long time. I didn't know what was not working. I had followed the instruction video step by step three times in a row, and I was sure I had done everything like shown. I asked for help on the Slack help channel and no one answered for days. Eventually, I found out that everything was working correctly but tweets were not showing because I was not following anyone on my Twitter account. Thus, there were no tweets to show.
