not much more to say. I think it will be popular

Pros:

I think I'd like longer tweets sometimes

Cons:

I doubt it

As of last night, this has been patched. There is a Plugin going around for Tweetdeck, if you still were keen: https://chrome.google.com/websto...

@td_evans not sure what I'm doing wrong. The counter stays at 140 but the red highlight appears once I cross that number. Trying to reinstall.

@nivo0o0 Removing then re-installing may help. It is bugging out occasionally - perhaps as Twitter update.

@td_evans @nivo0o0 I'm pretty sure there is a problem in the implementation, you patch the initial data on page load and because the Twitter code is loaded asynchronously it could read the JSON that you modify before you do it. Consider my extension that uses MutationObserver which guarantees that the experiment is enabled before Twitter reads it: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@td_evans @nivo0o0 It's not patched, I've just tried my extension and it still works.

Does this work on replies too? If so, I am still getting hit for 140.

@streamnowceo you’ll need to create a new tweet right now, sadly. Will see if I can hack that

Isn't Twitter about to double its character limit to 280?

@andreaskroepfl Indeed it is, although this was only available to certain users. This extensions (now patched) changed the front-end feature flag to enable it for everyone.
