Hacker News Reader

That ship has sailed unfortunately. Most people are going to post in walled gardens--and, if Twitter is that walled garden, I'd much prefer they encourage longer form posting than long threads.

Twitter should be encouraging my grandma to leave twitter and go to random websites to view long tweets?

Twitlonger has been around for ages and is pretty nice to use. Writers seem to prefer just making threads because users will read them there. Every time you add a link or some other barrier in front of your content, you are reducing your readership.

I have a feeling that one aspect of it is that with Musk potentially coming on board, they realized that the pathetic absence of new features is going to have high visibility drawn to it soon.

Just an opinion.
