My Twitter app using their API doesn't seem to be impacted by the outage this time. It was the case earlier this morning and last night.
I hope they will post an article about what happened.

Yeah, Nitter[0] also still working, so probably issue is somewhere in between frontend and API/database, but not in API/database itself.
Has not tested Twidere[1] & Cawbird[2], but just wont try it now myself to prevent any issues on my mobile/PC (NOTE: If you are not used those apps before you may not try to use it now, because it requires on time load of Twitter site to verify token — actually it may/would not work due to actual issue with Twitter frontend issue).
Also, seems like Twitter bots still can tweet (as all of them uses just a Twitter API, not a Twitter frontend), for example here is HNTweets just tweeted actual thread as it just reached HN frontpage.[3]
P.P.S. Here is previous dishonored HN top thread[4] on actual "Twitter Down" — it was really a bad idea to flag this Ask HN thread.[5]
UPD: Just checked Twidere — app able to tweet[6], so Twitter API is OK.
UPD2: Insider Paper tweeted[7]:
> Twitter says the data team is investigating system irregularity currently affecting all Twitter API v2 endpoints. In result, Twitter tweet feeds is still not loading for many users.
