Tweetbot is (mostly) working again

Tweetbot is back online after an outage left major third-party Twitter apps broken. The service currently lets users sign in and browse, but users are still struggling to post tweets.

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.

@paul very sad, it was so nice to have it back for a couple hours. I can’t believe how bad the stock Twitter app is.

@brianmueller @paul It’s shocking to actually see how bad apps from multi billion dollar companies can be. Especially when you compare them to beautifully crafted apps like Carrot or Tweetbot. Thank you both for the incredible work you’re doing.

@brianmueller @paul I wouldn’t Reddit without @christianselig I don’t Twitter without @ @tapbots I don’t weather without @brianmueller

I tried to use the default Twitter app and holy shit it’s terrible.

You guys are all awesome.
If tweetbot is dead, so is Twitter to me.

@Bushwhack @brianmueller @paul @tapbots To be fair I sometimes weather without Brian it’s hard not to get wet when it’s raining outside

@christianselig @brianmueller @paul @tapbots oh 100% true. Sometimes it’s definitely pouring outside andni still open the app just to have it tell me to “go fuck yourself” — only feels appropriate at that point
