Ask HN: Why Twitter hasn't updated its Mac app for the 280 chars limit?

3 pointsngrilly4 comments

Does anyone know why Twitter has still not updated its official Mac app to support the new 280 characters limit?

You're hoping for someone working at Twitter to answer (the only people who could authoratively answer your question).

They might not answer for a variety of reasons that could be bad PR eg "engineering difficulties", "low priority", etc.

Yes, this my naive hope. They could also answer they are aware of this, a fix is in progress and expected in a few weeks.

Was it fixed?

Sadly, no. Last update was 20 March 2017.
