I joined Twitter some time in 2008, I don't remember exactly when. It was an exciting place to hang out and chat with friends, and strangers alike.
I didn't start using it "seriously" until early in 2015.
Since that time I have met many people on Twitter that have changed my life. Some I still interact with on a daily basis, and others have moved on to other places.
Twitter is in a strange place at the moment.
The purchase by Elon Musk, has thrown things into a bit of disarray, but I hope that things will improve, but there is a possibility that we have lost the Twitter I knew and loved.
In this season of giving thanks, I thought it would be great to build a tool that makes it easy to share the people we are thankful for on Twitter.
The idea of reviving the Myspace Top 8 came to mind, and I decided there was no time like the present.
This is a quick build just a few days of work, but I'm very pleased with how things turned out. I hope you build your Top 8 and share it with the world!
Let me know if you run into any issues.

@mubashariqbal would love it to auto-generate them for me :)

@bentossell Would have loved to do that, but the Twitter API limits it would have created a very poor top 8 list for you.
Hope the suggestions, helped though!
Timely launch! 🦃
Also, I must say: Thankful for you, @mubashariqbal. You're an inspiring example for the PH community and makers in general. This is your 78th Product Hunt launch (if I'm counting correctly!). Incredible.

@rrhoover Thanks Ryan.
ProductHunt have been an amazing community to be part off. Ever since I discovered it about 8 years ago(!) I knew I'd found my people.
The positivity here, even when sometimes you have to deliver feedback you know the maker may not like has been a great source of inspiration to me.
My thoughts exactly, @rrhoover.
@mubashariqbal is on a tear on and I was super stoked to have been able to test this out yesterday before the launch. Hope to see it gain some steam!
Great launch here @mubashariqbal! 🚀 I'll be really interested to see how people respond to this as the day and week moves on. 😃
Was happy to take it for a test drive yesterday and hopefully some of the minor bugs got worked out -- seems to be working better now! I'll take it for another spin later after some holiday family time.
Looking forward to our chat next week and let's see where things stand then -- could be fun to add some further features if there's still some energy and interest! 😎
Have a great holiday, dude!
