So, alternatives? I have Twitter on the side next to my browser. Using Twitter in a separate window doesn't work because Twitter for the web isn't mobile friendly and mobile.twitter.com doesn't refresh if the window isn't in focus.
I'm working on a desktop client for Twitter, FB, Slack etc. It's pretty snappy and weighs only 90 KB (!) https://eul.im Twitter support is coming later this month.

1. I can't download past versions and there's no current version to download till tomorrow. Why...
2. You have no github and hn history besides spamming the shit of eul and I can't trust no proprietary third party shit.
4. Do you really think you can open source something that could bite your ass legally (whatsapp)? Will you partially open source all of it minus whatsapp or what? If so say it instead of "ye ye I will open source it".
5. Do you really think anyone not stupid believes you can support so much shit and being native and 90 KB (version 0.27 coming tomorrow) when the past versions downloaded a GB?

Chrome + (Windows / Mac / Ubuntu) should let users dock any "Web App". That would enable new possibilities. No one would ever write an app specifically for mac / windows.
Unfortunately. Personally I much prefer apps that provide a native experience.

Re: Twitter Killing Its Mac App
#67I've been using TweetDeck on Mac until it started crashing I guess after High Sierra update. Scrolling also works in somewhat weird way compared to other apps. The Twitter web app is a mess, it displays lots of tweets liked by others that usually is just clickbaity noise, not something I want to see in my feed even though cat pictures can be funny indeed. Also notifications used to show actually relevant notification…
Re: Twitter Killing Its Mac App
#68Also strange: on the iOS app, you can add multiple accounts. On the web version not. Tweetdeck doesnt feel snappy at all. Twitter is, very broken - for a very long time now.
I use Firefox container tabs to get around this
Re: Twitter Killing Its Mac App
#69The commentary on this is off base - maybe twitter is pulling people off this project to put them on fake accounts / nazis? Certainly maintaining a mac app doesn't help there.
Those left on Twitter are either bots or puppet/troll accounts.

It's this built in to Firefox? I use session box in Chrome for a similar effect.
