Show HN: Clean My Feed – Clean Up the Twitter Accounts You Follow
- captn3m0 8y agoI’ve been planning to make this for a long time, so some suggestions: - Remove the buttons and switch to a Tinder swipe. Saves space on mobiles - Prefetch content for next follower - only show last 3 tweets - option to hide RTs - Sort by last activity. The people I just followed are the ones I’m least likely to unfollow now, so show either old accounts or older follows first. - bio is important. It needs to be present for context. For a rough implementation of the Tinder idea, see https://github.com/captn3m0/quick-list-select https://github.com/captn3m0/quick-list-select which I made to help me filter large lists manually. Disclaimer: I've only tried it on my mobile so far
- owenconti 8y agoHey thanks for the feedback! Mobile was definitely an after thought so I'll have to look into the swiping idea. - Prefetching next follower makes a lot of sense - I originally only wanted to show the last 5 tweets, but Twitter's API is weird. Adding the option to hide retweets should be doable. - "Sort by last activity": YES! I 100% agree it makes way more sense to list by oldest follows first, however, again Twitter's API limits this :( I could go through and pull ALL follows up front, which I may do eventually. - I can definitely display the bio Thanks again for the feedback!
- captn3m0 8y ago>pull ALL follows up front, which I may do eventually. This is what I was thinking of as well. (The twitter API is really terrible at this). Most people won't have enough followers to cause issues.
