The "Follow us on Twitter" footer link on documentation pages (e.g. /projects/fireflies) uses the deprecated twitter.com/intent/follow endpoint, which returns a 404 since the X rebrand.

  • Updated URL from https://twitter.com/intent/follow?screen_name=MsMakeCodehttps://x.com/MsMakeCode
  • Updated title attribute to "Follow us on X"
  • Icon class (twitter) left as-is since it references the Semantic UI glyph

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

  • x.com
    • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node --enable-source-maps /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/copilot-developer-action-main/dist/index.js (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

Update URL from twitter.com/intent/follow to x.com/MsMakeCode
and title from 'Follow us on Twitter' to 'Follow us on X'.

title="Follow us on X"

missed this pr before but it looks like the intent/follow is still working on my end? goes to a sign in screen if not logged in, but ends up at a modal overlaid over msmakecode that has follow option.

looks like even if not signed in x.com/MsMakeCode is fine though, so okay either way -- suggested change retains current behavior / as written works better for non signed in users
