A big part of twitter is the web client... and embedded tweets all over the internet.
Did they start this product by cloning instagram and removing the image centric approach? Why is this not a website first? My gut feel is that this competes as much with instagram as it does with Twitter.
This bug has been there for months and basically renders it unusable.
The web version is downright awful. Maybe given this is a greenfield project, it won't meet the same fate... but yea. The "web version" of instagram is basically here's a 4x scaled version of the app without much regard to a desktop UI/UX.
It also shows signup takeovers after clicking 2 links so without some sort of scraping proxy like Nitter it will be just as useless as Twitter if you only want to follow from the outside.
Sometimes I wonder if they make their products absolute shit on purpose, for a social experiment or something
... not on the iOS app store?
I think this is arguable. It might be a big part for you, but most people probably use the mobile app.
Depends on which user base they’re focusing. For people who treat tweeting as work, that’s probably not the case.
