Hello, I have used your product for a day and I really like the concept.
There are a few features which I believe would make your product better.
-Sorting users by the number of unread tweets
-Sorting users by follower number
-It takes quite some time to load pictures and videos, The text refreshes as you move to the next tweet but the picture from the previous tweet stays on the screen for a few seconds. It should be fixed
-Since you will have info regarding whose tweets I read/consume most often, you may bring those top 5 users at the top of the list by labeling them "Top Users"
I hope you add these features in the next release.
This is a very smart implementation. I was already using Twitter this way. What I would love to see @mcuban is grouping users around a particular topic. For example, I usually check out Twitter when police or ambulance sirens are echoing through the neighbourhood and I quickly want to know what's happening from locals. Would be great if I could set up a group of users called 'locals' that I can quickly access to find out what's happening. Or, create a group called 'Mavs' and instead of just checking out your tweets, have a group that I assembled that are likely to be talking about the Mavs when something newsworthy is happening, providing me a group-chat type of experience from the experts in a single click. Great job on the 1.0 so far.
@jibly Happy you are finding Storyline useful! We are definitely interested in categorizing tweets. We agree that this would be a cool and effective way to keep up with certain events. Stay tuned as we continuing updating the app!

Really cool idea. Simple and neat. The only thing I felt needs to change is the detail view. Would be nice to at least have the option of aggregating that users tweets into one screen instead of going tweet by tweet. Especially since most times the content fills up a quarter of the screen. Kudos though!
I think this product compliments Twitter's Timeline very well. I think it would be even better as a desktop app. I do not see myself going from Twitter to Storyline on my phone very often. A cool feature would be being able to filter with keywords, that way you don't have to go through every tweet for the account just the ones relevant to what you're interested in.
Alphabetical order is awesome, but I would love to see who I am following populate to the top of the list based on how frequently I select their storyline.
It will save even more time in trying to figure out what's new with y-combinator. As it stands, I have to scroll down a shit ton just to see updates from them. Of course I search for them but I want my app to know me better than I know myself.
Overall design is clean and on point for this mvp. Looking forward to future iterations.
@alanaut24 Totally agree with that. We will be introducing a "favorite users" section in the coming updates that will make it easier to find the people you care about. Thanks for checking out the app!
I think this is brilliant. Mostly because it gives a sense of quasi-SEO to Twitter. A user is finding content they want to see based on relevance and authority on the topic (similar to page-rank for websites).
@paramjaggi Glad you like the app and are finding it useful!

I guess I'm not sure how this is any faster or efficient than the previous method of finding tweets.
I just specifically looked for "Business Insider" tweets...
On Twitter- I click the search bar and type "Business Insider", click the account, and there are the tweets.
On Storyline- I click the search bar and type "Business Insider, click the account, and there are the tweets.
Storyline is no faster. The only thing is with twitter, I can see 2-5 tweets at a time allowing me to skim and find what I want. With storyline, I can only see 1 tweet at a time which is actually slowing me down.
The only thing remotely new or interesting with this is Social Media Zero, which I actually think is counteracting the point of social media.
@evanlaclark Evan, thanks for checking out the app. Our goal with Storyline is to make it much easier to stay updated with social media news. The app filters out a lot of irrelevant content, but makes sure you don't miss out on anything. We have many new features on the way that will greatly improve the overall experience.
