I really like the design of this. Simple, yet colorful enough to stand out.

Other really interesting UI elements:
- Next update timer (really like this)
- Newsfeed selection -- this is really neat. Doesn't clutter with too many items. Perhaps a way to refresh and get more items if the tweets there aren't satisfying?
Great work!

  Thanks a lot Simon :)
  
  I am adding infinite feed next, you think that would address the point of getting more items if not satisfied? It just won't be the same day but across multiple days.

    Yeah that might work. Same day would be more ideal -- I'm guessing there's some curating happening on the backend, so perhaps add another 10-15 tweets to show if the first 3-4 don't satisfy.
    
    You could even make it so that once the user refreshes 3-4 times, they see a prompt to sign up (for those who are browsing) to get updates when new items are added.

      Interesting points. True, so every tweet has a score basis which it is ordered. I could probably add a 'load more' button for each day.
      
      The sign up prompt trick is neat - thanks for mentioning this :)
