This is, by far, one of the best product marketing work I have seen in a while.
A write-only interface for Twitter.... you, dear sir or madam, have my clicks. All of my clicks.

it also feels a little disrespectful of people who follow you. if I reply to you I know you won't read it. so if someone bragged about using your app it'd be a prompt for me to unfollow them.
I'm working on something in the social networking space, and I'm curious about your views and where you are coming from. If you don't mind me asking: What type of people do you follow - people you met irl or online, or friend of friends, or famous people? And how do you want to interact with them?
My own approach to make Twitter useful for me is to separate the concepts of following and reading. The key is to never look at your timeline:

#73Finally a use for write only memory.

#74I would like to have this for email.
I try to stay out of email except for defined time slots so that I don’t get distracted. But sometimes I would like to send an email outside those times.
Most clients require you to see your inbox if you want to send a message.

Wow I couldn't have said it better. This is exactly what we're trying to achieve with Typefully, thanks for expressing it so nicely.
Unfortunately the author cannot read your thanks, see upvotes, engage in a conversation, or learn from others’ input. They use a write-only client to access this community.
Hacker News would actually be the opposite if I was going to go single-sided with it. I don’t normally participate in the conversations but I love reading them.
This conversation though just happened to touch on something I’ve been experimenting with so I was compelled to comment.
That said, give me the read only client for HN (I know this exist already) :)

#76Thank you for making this a progressive web app. I’ve been preaching the benefits of PWAs for a while now and the first thing I do on any new site I access from my phone is try to add it to the Home Screen. Well done!

#77This is a great idea, I've been looking for it for years!

#78Despite what many comments here might suggest, Twitter is a microblogging site. You do not have to consume other tweets in order to contribute your own tweets to Twitter. That’s why you can follow 0 people and still tweet. That’s why I love this idea. Imagine writing a blog but everyone suggesting to you that you have to consume other people’s blogs in order to contribute your own. Twitter can be toxic. But it can be…

It would be pretty weird to write a blog, but never read others. Especially if you avoided reading blogs because you thought it was bad for your mental health. Why make more of a bad thing?

People want different things. This reads to me like why date if you’re not gay and also your own type.

#80I'm an ADHD person who is tired of being trapped by the doomscroll, but like the idea of sharing random thoughts with some friends. Sometimes I just want to write something, but without receiving instant feedback, and I think Typefully will be very useful in these moments. Thank you!
