Request for feedback: Tinyfollow - A smarter way to stay connected on Twitter

Hi everyone 👋 I've built a tool that will let you create a customizable digest for any Twitter account. Whether if it's a close friend or someone famous, you can stay connected and never miss a tweet from someone important.

For example, you can follow me at https://www.tinyfollow.com/twitter/charleshancom and set your own rules. You'll receive a digest of the new posts based on your schedule.

Or try following @csallen at https://www.tinyfollow.com/twitter/csallen
or @ElonMusk https://www.tinyfollow.com/twitter/elonmusk

I also added a search so you don't have to look up the Twitter handles https://www.tinyfollow.com/twitter/search?q=indiehackers

I hope you guys find it useful! Let me know below if you have any suggestions or feedback 👇

    Great idea! I like the simplicity of the web app. One thing that can be improved (in my opinion) is the landing page. On my laptop screen, I only see the image of the laptop and I have to scroll to see the text.

      I just made the changes. Thanks for the suggestion!

        Yes, that's better. Maybe you could also use two columns for desktop. Just an idea.

    Excellent service, I'll start using it. A few pointers:

    • When I landed on the @elonmusk page I wasn't sure what the subscribe button does, it should better express that you subscribe to emails
    • A way to easily follow multiple uses, say I'd want to receive a weekly recap of major browser's tweets (@chromiumdev, @firefox etc)

      Thanks!

      • The first input does say "Email scheduled digest" but a few people did tell me that there are too many options showing (people don't like to read 😓). I think hiding "advanced features" would make the first input stand out a bit more?
      • This is definitely something I'd like to add. Combine multiple sources into a customizable list!

      For the time being though, you can follow them separately:
      https://www.tinyfollow.com/twitter/firefox
      https://www.tinyfollow.com/twitter/chromiumdev

    Neat idea, Charles. I just signed up to follow my favorite account. Twitter content without getting sucked into the vortex ;)

    Very interesting, I will give it a try!
