This will be short-lived, unfortunately.

The sad reality is there is not 1-3 Billion nice people in the world who monitor online social networks.

It turns out the medium attracts the worst offenders, by it's very nature.

What is the point of Arc syncing tabs across devices, if it can't sync profiles, passwords, etc?

Thank you for all the broken tabs, you useless browser.

Yes!! We don’t have any Swift in prod at Digits (yet? ;) but I maintain an internal macOS app that gets heavy usage!

Not trueβ€”no data ever showed Twitter’s character limit had any impact on literacy.

We analyzed this deeply in 2015. Despite having a 1k limit, the average Facebook post was far shorter than 140 chars :)

The limit increase was for use-case expansion, not fixing something broken most users.

Starter Packs are such a simple, intuitive, obvious feature to welcome new folks to the platform. Utterly brilliant.

Kicking myself that we didn’t launch them at Twitter!

Perfect example that great design is only obvious in retrospect…

I’m feeling it too. This has a vibe (and an actually decent algorithm) that Threads lacks.

It’s impressively easy to set up your own domain name here… very cool.

Pre-2016 my Twitter feed was 100% tech, with the macOS/iOS indie dev community a particularly strong voice.

It was joyful, it was creative, it was productive, it was educational.

Let’s go.
