While I am unsurprised, I do feel bad for the developers who are stuck dealing with the manchild who runs Twitter.
Seriously. Imagine the developers who sunk all of their time, effort, and money to make great and beloved 3rd party apps for these platforms to see it completely screwed over in the span of mere months by people who do not understand what made these platforms unique and successful.
Where did I see that before...
But on a serious note, there were Twitter 3rd party apps?
You're commenting in a post about an article where the primary subject is a Twitter 3rd-party web app.
Much like Reddit, Twitter's first mobile apps were developed by third parties. The term "tweet" even originated with one of those apps.
Yeah, in the olden days when I used Twitter, I usually used third party apps because I could set things up to suit my own workflow.
Tweetbot twitteriffic etc. they made using twitter much more fun, allowed you to control your feed instead of some algorithm. Stopped using twitter when they pulled the rug on them without warning back in November. At least Reddit Warned people I guess…
