FAQ

Q: What does "APIs Left" mean?
A: Twitter limits the number of times you can access Twitter's API in an hour. It is usually refereed to as "rate limiting". YoruFukurou lets you see the 
number of calls you can make until you get rate limited, which means you can post tweets, but not refresh the timeline. If you get rate limited often, please 
review your refresh time interval from the preferences. You can also get rate limited easily by using another application that uses Twitter API at the same time.
