deckcheck

This script fetches object values from TweetDeck to automate checks on what could have changed with updates. We can't just diff the bundled JavaScript as that is done with Webpack, which means all variables change and the order is different with every build. We picked the most significant values out of the main object we can imagine are the best to compare.
