The apps are gone, but the developers are not! Iā€™m sad to see apps that delighted so many people and shaped Twitter killed without a shred of dignity.

Thanks a million to the Iconfactory team (@gedeonm, @bigzaphod, @chockenberry, @talosman, & @piraino) & the folks at @tapbots)!! šŸ«¶

@BasicAppleGuy @gedeonm @bigzaphod @chockenberry @talosman @piraino @tapbots @gruber @jsnell So many great apps. I just deleted the Twitter app from my Mac, and Hazel helpfully reminded me of the rich heritage of even Twitterā€™s own app. Truly the end of an important era.

@thomasjpr now i understand why they abandoned it for years, they never felt it was their product, it was just a side effect of an acqui-hire!

@gedeonm @bigzaphod @BasicAppleGuy @piraino @talosman @chockenberry @tapbots Iā€™m still reflexively opening Tweetbot when I want to look at Twitter. Not sure if I can bear to delete it šŸ˜«
