Hi fellow misfits, I'm Rishi(https://twitter.com/thelifeofrishi https://twitter.com/thelifeofrishi), I have been working on a better version of Twitter at https://kizie.co https://kizie.co, let me know what you think -- Tech Next.js, Vercel, Supabase, Tailwind, ah yep that's pretty much it -- Why? Because Twitter.com is cluttered, has ads that no one likes, lacks UX and can be better, Kizie.co intends to fix all of these. -- Whats' in Kizie.co that Twitter.com doesn't have? - Undo tweet, you get time to discard/re-send last sent tweet - Analytics, you get stats of your tweets so you know which tweets are working and to increase engagement - Quick media preview, preview photos/videos in feeds in full aspect ratio quickly on hover, Twitter.com is still trying to fix the issue :D - Reader mode for links, my personal favorite, links in your timeline can be viewed in a beautiful reader view in the app itself - Save links for later - Plus Kizie has almost all of the Twitter.com features - Me --- I'm the only one working on it, and so I assure you there can be bugs in the app :D, if you come across one just let me know on Twitter. I have been constantly using Kizie on Web and through macOS app since last couple months now and I think it's good and stable enough for daily use at this moment. I've been also constantly working on UX and adding useful features, currently a tool to convert Tweet to image - https://kizie.co/tweet-image https://kizie.co/tweet-image (standalone rn but will be available for Pro users and could be used from the feeds). Have bunch of ideas to go live :) That's it, let me know what you think of it!

All you're doing is putting lipstick on a pig. This isn't even a better Nitter <https://nitter.net/about https://nitter.net/about>. If you want to do something useful, I'd like to see you create a Twitter look-alike that pulls from members' RSS/Atom/JSON feeds rather than letting them post directly. No likes, no reshares, no comments. Just pure feed aggregation in reverse chronological order like the Demiurge intended. We need more webrings and sites like Nightfall City <https://nightfall.city/ https://nightfall.city/>, not FOSS developers reskinning a parasocial media site and not getting a dime in payment.

  You seem to be kind of shadowban (not sure what the proper term is), you might want to write an email to the hn moderation to clear that up

    I can't be bothered. If they want to censor me that's their prerogative. I'm not paying to shitpost here, and I'm not getting paid to be here either; I'm just a guest.

  I know it's not as good as nitter(didn't know about it) But I'm trying :), I see nitter has 22 contributors, Kizie has only one person working, give me some time I'll make it as better as I can

    No matter what you do, Kizie will be worthless as long as it depends on Twitter. Twitter is nothing but the men's room wall of the internet. Its content is nothing but variations on the following theme: Here I sit, brokenhearted / I came to shit and only farted

  Comments like yours are such a stain to the community. If you have nothing constructive to say, keep it to yourself.

    They're not wrong. What even is this? A monetised front for Twitter? Not even it's own site? It's garbage, sites like this are the 'stain to the community', not the people pointing it out.

How do you feel the engagement metrics will play out? They make me worried. Also, kudos for making this!
- thelifeofrishi 5y ago
  Since I haven't dived fully into it I am not sure how it'll turn out, my idea with engagement context is to show users what's working for them and whats' not so they know how to do it This will include maths and lots of data processing but it'll eventually be there in Kizie at some point
