Just another quick product hacked together. Twitter launched their new 280 character limit to select users last night. By messing with some front-end settings this plugin will allow you to post up to 280 characters. The extension doesn't save any data and is literally 5 lines of JS. As it all runs on the front-end, Twitter updates make break this at anytime. Other downsides: I have yet to fix the counter (so it's stuck at 140) and it's only on Chrome Desktop as an extension at present Update: As of 2300UTC last night the plugin will no longer work on Twitter. This plugin here: https://chrome.google.com/websto... will still work on Tweetdeck.

@td_evans This is marvellous! I feel so special, like I'm a part of the "small group" that twitter exclusively selected. Straight to abusing it of course 🤣

@td_evans Did twitter plug the hole already? Seems like it's not working for me now. Glad I got to get that one tweet out to abuse my power: https://twitter.com/irishpolyglo... Edit: Never mind. Removing the plugin and reinstalling it did the trick for me. All good!

@irishpolyglot I pushed an update around that time, so if this did happen to anyone else - just remove and reinstall and it should work (for the time being).

⛔️ UPDATE: Twitter did patch this gap and now checks the experiment at the back-end, hence the extension doesn't work anymore ⛔️ When this extension will stop working for you, give a try to mine it has superior implementation: https://www.producthunt.com/post... 😉

What differentiates these services now from all the rest?

Pros:

----

Cons:

Twitter with 280 characters and Quora with blog posts is class examples of services forgetting their original concept

Just tried it - great - much better for setting the tone for an article or story you want to publish etc

Oh my, don't know if I need more chars - but this works and is fun. I do hope the rest of Twitter cannot be hacked so easily ;-)

Upvote. It works, but... turns off after some time. Sometimes it turns off after few minutes, sometime after just 30 secs or less. I noticed it does not work when replying to someone's tweet. It only works with new tweets and probably just after fresh logging-in. Here is my 280 tweet. https://twitter.com/DarekDoesStu... I think it looks really cool ;) Thank you @td_evans Great work!
