I unfollowed 120 people on twitter who either I don't remember why I was following, or I used to know but haven't talked to in 6+ years, and my Twitter timeline is *noticeably* more enjoyable to read now. -

Me: I don't want to open up 8 tabs for Twitter. I'll just visit Tantek's homepage where I bet he shows these tweets in full context.

Pretty pleased I managed to have this entire conversation with @lsanger on Twitter using only my own website and tools! Never had to visit Twitter or use any Twitter apps! Our #indieweb tools have come a long way! #ownyourdata

Twitter's UX and 'bullying' (natdudley.com)"it’s horrible to be on the receiving end of the deluge, and it’s also not all that nice to be accused of bullying when you were actually let down by bad design."

New Twitter account got locked within a minute. I used to be able to use an existing number to verify new accounts, but not anymore!

Day 21: Twitter Support for XRay #100DaysOfIndieWeb
Continuing yesterday's work, today I added support for parsing Twitter URLs to XRay.There were a couple tricks to make this work. I wanted to make sure that Tweets are always expanded to include the most data possible, and also wanted to avoid needing to make a bunch of HTTP requests. Scraping from the twitter.com website wasn't an option, since some of the data isn't available or would require additional HTTP calls to fetch. (For example I would have to fetch every t.co URL to expand them.) So I set to work using the Twitter API to fetch the tweets.continue reading...
