Presumably this project is for just reading?
The horrible interface is probably the main reason why I never got into Twitter. It's very hard to follow stuff, bercause it gets sorted in (for me) useless ways. Plus the fact that even generally interesting people retweet (or even tweet) some cringeworthy stuff.
And maybe I don't read enough to trigger roadblocks. Or maybe I just block enough stuff.
Solution is of course to not use twitter.
