Let the people you follow do the hard work of curating the best of Twitter. If you don’t use Twitter much, Macaw helps you catch up on what you missed. If you‘re a power user, it finds new users to follow or tweets you wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Free download for iOS, just sign in with Twitter! (And send @zmh any questions/comments!)
Props to Zach for a creative take on Twitter consumption in 2018. Finding that I open this app first for a quick dive through tweets as opposed to the client. It's just a refreshing and thoughtful remix on how to find interesting and niche activity.
Hi everyone! Thanks for reading / voting. Wanted to give some insight into why I built this and why you might find it useful.
With 2000+ users now signed up to use Daily140 (https://www.producthunt.com/post...), one common suggestion was to build an experience that works with your existing overall Twitter network instead of individual users.
Twitter now occasionally inserts activity-based tweets into your timeline (e.g. if you follow me, you’ll see “Zach liked this tweet” or “Zach followed this user”).
If 5 of the people who you follow like a particular tweet, chances are good that you should read that tweet. Same with users: if a lot of the people you follow suddenly start following a user, chances are good you might want to follow them too.
Twitter does this on and off today, but only if you have the algorithmic feed on. And if you want to turn that off (or hack it like https://twitter.com/waxpancake/s...), you’ll get only 1 or 2 of those suggestions each day.
So I built an app where the whole premise is these suggestions. Why download it?
1. It ends up being a decent summary of Twitter at the end of the day. I don’t need to check Twitter as frequently, and I still get the best content
2. You’ll get a more diverse cross-section of tweets and users. You may not care about some of it, but you’ll definitely discover at least one tweet you wouldn’t have seen otherwise (because you don’t follow that user) or a new user you wouldn’t have known about
3. It’s free and fun and an experiment, so why not?
Thanks again, and all feedback welcome! 🙌🏽😁
