twitter-pin
A dead simple Twitter PIN-based authorization module.
The PIN-based OAuth flow is intended for applications which cannot access or embed a web browser in order to redirect the user to the authorization endpoint. Examples of such applications would be command-line applications, embedded systems, game consoles, and certain types of mobile apps.
