2019: Editing tweets 🏆

Twitter the product has continued to evolve over the years and remains the best place to courageously publish content without an edit button. In a surprise move yesterday, the company announced an experiment: extending the character limit from 140 to 280.

The reaction has been mixed, with some saying "280-character limit is terrible", and others looking forward to the new wave of Twitter comedians that the new expanded format will bring. Share your thoughts on Twitter's 280 character limit.

Here's what you need to know: A community member just built a Chrome Extension that lets you tweet with 280 characters. We've tested it and it actually works. Nice work, Thomas. 👏

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.
