    • Glad to know it’s high on the list. I’d personally be happy paying a small surcharge for it. I’ve looked at making whatever I end up building to solve this need for myself into…

  • Export content to other platforms.

    • Hello, I love that idea, but at this time we want to make the product focused on the experience of Twitter creators, so we feel like it makes sense you make you publish on…

  • Unrolling other users' threads into blogs.

    From 1 comment
    • Can I turn others tweets into a blog? Especially one that unspools Twitters Threads so each blogpost contains the entire train of thought? For some reason lots of people would…

  • Are thread size limits enforced?

    From 1 comment
