At first I thought this would be a service which takes your Twitter profile and turns it into a website with a CMS backend, which sounds like a great idea for anyone who wants to escape Twitter but doesn't have the tech savvy to set up a website and migrate all their old content on their own.

I guess it's not exactly that though, it... creates a profile on typefully.com that mirrors your Twitter account?

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 Twitter and on your Typefully Profile simultaneously.

So yes, it mirrors the content, but you control your Typefully Profile and you get an RSS Feed that you can plug anywhere.

That being said, this is just version 1.0 of Profiles, and we'd love to give users even more control, and possibly allow to publish directly to their Typefully Profile, or export their content easily to other platforms as well.
