    Makes sense, the site is dying and the Mac app was dead even before musk.

    Maintaining the iPad app on MacOS would have required to hire a part time intern and there’s no money for that

    This article says the app was removed because it still had the Twitter branding and they have a new app instead, and the old app was ad-free. Why not just use the regular web browser?

      Could also just not use it in your browser either

        But how do we hate-follow Elon then? We need our daily dose of outrage after all.

    I used this years ago when I was still on Twitter, it was a good app. It actually used windows properly instead of stuffing everything into a single window (for example making a new tweet opened a separate dialog) and everything. Rare to see nowadays
