Description

enhancement good first issue help wanted

In the Medium article there's a call to arms where the user will tweet their commitment to the challenge:

I'm publicly committing to the 100DaysOfCode Challenge

The bot can reply with a welcome message, this is sort of an extension to the abandoned API:

https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/100DaysOfCode-twitter-bot/issues/15
https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/100DaysOfCode-twitter-bot/issues/66

This could be a quick win however by using stream.on('tweet' and match the specific (or exact) phrase
