#2At first I thought this would be a service which takes your Twitter profile and turns it into a website with a CMS backend, which sounds like a great idea for anyone who wants to escape Twitter but doesn't have the tech savvy to set up a website and migrate all their old content on their own.
I guess it's not exactly that though, it... creates a profile on typefully.com that mirrors your Twitter account?

Hi Jonathan, Typefully is first and foremost a thread-writing app meant for publishing, this is why we need all those permissions.
Profiles could use a subset of permissions, but we prefer to keep things simple and have a unified login flow.

#6how is this different from Thread Reader? https://threadreaderapp.com
Hi, Typefully was born as a simple web-based text editor with a preview of how your text will look on Twitter.
While we added many features to empower Twitter creators, at the core it's still a thread writing app, and now users can publish their threads as "unrolled" blog posts.
What makes it fundamentally different is that it's the Typefully user that decides to unroll their posts and share them, and they can preview the unrolled version while writing, so it's optimized for this use case.
Hope this answers your question.

Hello, I love that idea, but at this time we want to make the product focused on the experience of Twitter creators, so we feel like it makes sense you make you publish on Twitter and on your Typefully Profile simultaneously.
So yes, it mirrors the content, but you control your Typefully Profile and you get an RSS Feed that you can plug anywhere.
That being said, this is just version 1.0 of Profiles, and we'd love to give users even more control, and possibly allow to publish directly to their Typefully Profile, or export their content easily to other platforms as well.

That's true. The core difference here is that Typefully will unroll your threads and you can set a title, so in RSS readers they will show as proper blog posts.

#10Does Typefully support drafting elsewhere and pasting into your editor? I'm working on a twitter fiction experiment that makes use of pretty long (100+ tweet) threads and I write my drafts in Scrivener. The ability to paste in a bunch of delimited text, and to delete entire previous threads would be amazing.
I realize it's probably not your typical use case
