At some point I realized that it took me a lot less time to write gigantic Twitter threads than a blog post half that size. Of course my own expectations of quality are quite higher for a post on my blog than for a Twitter thread that will be buried by time. But apart from that the big difference was my inability to edit tweets already sent. Now for a few years it's been different since it is possible to prepare multiple tweets at a time, but it's still not as a single big box with text you can freely and easily edit, but the format (the requirement to cut the text in small pieces) still plays a role in the process I think.
I was toying with the idea of making an text editor that would work in the same way, append-only by limited size chunks, just for proficiency purpose, but never had time.
This project seems to be in the same vein. Thanks for sharing!
