The website is awful. It's horrific. It was the worst site I visited regularly until I started using Nitter instances. I'd rather not know what is going on than go to it. I wish they'd wind the UI back 10 years, to back when it was pleasant to browse.

- Consultant32452 4y agoDo you remember, I think it was 2020, when there was a big "hack" and tons of blue check accounts started posting fraud links? Two important take-aways from that: 1) The attackers just pulled the old "Hey, I'm from IT service desk and need your password." 2) Apparently every engineer had god mode in production I can't imagine what scary monsters are in that codebase.
- hgsgm 4y agoThe point is that the website is an API, irrelevant if it is a good or bad UI.
- omoikane 4y agoDepending on twitter's pricing, this might not be worthwhile. Scraping web pages is a last resort for when proper APIs are not available.
