📚 Refined Medium strips away all the clutter so you can read in peace. Available for Chrome and Firefox. Trendbar also sorts the best stories by claps, categories, and dates.
From that very first "just setting up my twittr," hundreds of billions of tweets lived together in harmony. Then... everything changed when The Algorithm attacked. Only third party developers, masters of every user demand, could stop it, but when the world needed them most, they vanished. 😮
Well, they didn't quite vanish. In August, Twitter announced sweeping changes to their API that broke most of the features in award-winning Twitter clients like Tweetbot and Tweetdeck. And while Twitter brought back the chronological timeline last month, power users still aren't pleased.
A new third party developer is here to save the world. Zach Hamed just launched Macaw, a new Twitter client that surfaces the top-liked tweets from your network. Macaw focuses on tweets and users that you *should* follow, rather than tweets and users you already follow:
"If 5 of the people who you follow like a particular tweet, chances are good that you should read that tweet. Same with users: if a lot of the people you follow suddenly start following a user, chances are good you might want to follow them."
Zach isn't alone trying to fix Twitter. Earlier this year, Sindre Sorhus launched Refined Twitter, which strips out all ads and algorithmic tweets. Mastodon, Peepeth, Afari, and Leeroy are rebuilding a decentralized Twitter on the blockchain. Oh, and this fancy Emoji Tweeter lets 👏 you 👏 type 👏 like 👏 this.
Grow your app with Setapp: revenue, users, & AI
You shipped the app. Now comes the part nobody warns you about.
Billing across dozens of countries. Licensing agreements. Tax compliance. Customer support for users you haven't met yet. And if your app does anything with AI, add provider management and infrastructure costs to the pile. None of that is why you started building — but all of it is now your problem.
Setapp is trying to take it off your plate.
You probably know Setapp as the subscription marketplace — one monthly price, hundreds of Mac apps. On May 21st, they turned toward developers. The pitch is simple: list your app, reach users who are already looking, and let Setapp handle the business layer.
