Twitter client for makers: Gauging interest
Hey friends,
In the spirit of "minimize input to maximize output" I decided to build a twitter client that helps you stay focused on your task, instead of trying to suck you into the timeline.
I built this mainly for my own amusement, but wanted to gauge interest in this and similar ideas before I move on to something else.
This is an early rough prototype (it works though). Most work has gone into making the API calls work, and less into UI/UX polish.
Basic features starting out
- no timeline (later maybe I'll have a time limit, or limited timeline but for now it's zero)
- see your mentions, and your own tweets, and you can reply
High level principles
- Don't take you out of the maker flow. Let you get in, share your progress, get out.
- Allow you to interact with your audience.
Some people accomplish this by following zero people.
This kind of emulates that.
Other ideas that I'm considering
- Inbox for managing mentions and DMs
- Hey-style notifications (per person / thread)
- Easy UI to help make tweet storms
- No timeline, or heavily modified timeline (maybe a time limit for viewing, or only during certain days / time periods)
Any of this resonate? Thoughts?
If your thought is "not for me" or "meh" or "I can't see the vision" happy to hear those comments as well.
