Blast from the past: Maybe I should finally delete these three.

#Tweetbot (alpha), #Tweetie, #Twitterrific

#tweetie for OSX is pretty cute. I wonder if I'll stick with it over my textmode client.
なるほど #macOS#Mona って #Mastodon クライアント使ってみた。
閲覧は無料だけどリアクションとかは購入しないとできないってことなのかな?
なんとなく、昔の公式 #Twitter クライアント(元 #Tweetie )を彷彿とさせる使い心地
13+ years ago, third-party #twitter client #tweetie gave us pull-to-refresh, a feature we now see across multiple apps/platforms. #twitter power users invented #hashtags and @mentions. how will the new generation of #mastodon clients and users shape ui/ux inside the #fediverse?
#Tweetbot was basically how I perceived and understood twitter. For a brief period of time, I was using #Twitterrific at the same time, after #Tweetie was acquired. It’s been a good ride. So long.
Needless to say that the state of Twitter today could not have been reached without the advent of third-party mobile apps like #Twitterrific, #Tweetie, #Tweetbot, to just name a few.

We’ve known the truth for days but this feel like the final nail. Hard to believe. I’m so sad. What an amazing decade+ of innovation from apps like #Tweetie, #Twitterrific, #Tweetbot, #Spring, and the rest. Excited and hopeful that innovation will continue here. Support these developers if you can! 💜

And now dead again, along with some old unused API keys, which proves that this was intentional and we and others were specifically targeted. I wouldn't have swapped out the keys in the first place if there was even a shred of communication. Figured if nothing else this would push the issue. Oh well, on to smaller but greener pastures.

#TwitterClients used to be a hotbed for new design ideas, too. Not just the whimsy of features like “Twoosh!” splashing on the screen when you tweeted exactly 140 characters, but also novel interaction models that have since become commonplace.

Does anyone remember that pull-to-refresh was originally introduced in #Tweetie, by @loren?

13 years after Tweetie did it, Safari is getting 'Pull to Refresh' in iOS 15

Tweetie was famously the first app to use Pull to Refresh. Now Safari is doing it on iPhone and iPad – 13 years later.

Twitter shutting off API access for third-party clients feels like the end of an era.

I remember how much fun it was to try out #Tweetbot, #Twitterrific, and #Tweetie (pre-acquisition) over the years more than a decade ago.

@ne_ratte was erwartet auch @ne_ratte die sich im #Vogelkäfig herumtreibt....die kleinen #tweetie s haben Angst von Dir gefressen zu werden...ist vielleicht etwa so wie der #Porzellant (aus dem großen Gesamtwerk: Bekannte Sprichwörter in einem Wort)
