Show HN: Clean My Feed – Clean Up the Twitter Accounts You Follow
cleanmyfeed.xyzI’ve been planning to make this for a long time, so some suggestions:
- Remove the buttons and switch to a Tinder swipe. Saves space on mobiles
- Prefetch content for next follower
- only show last 3 tweets
- option to hide RTs
- Sort by last activity. The people I just followed are the ones I’m least likely to unfollow now, so show either old accounts or older follows first.
- bio is important. It needs to be present for context.
For a rough implementation of the Tinder idea, see https://github.com/captn3m0/quick-list-select which I made to help me filter large lists manually.
Disclaimer: I've only tried it on my mobile so far
Hey thanks for the feedback! Mobile was definitely an after thought so I'll have to look into the swiping idea.
- Prefetching next follower makes a lot of sense
- I originally only wanted to show the last 5 tweets, but Twitter's API is weird. Adding the option to hide retweets should be doable.
- "Sort by last activity": YES! I 100% agree it makes way more sense to list by oldest follows first, however, again Twitter's API limits this :( I could go through and pull ALL follows up front, which I may do eventually.
- I can definitely display the bio
Thanks again for the feedback!
>pull ALL follows up front, which I may do eventually.
This is what I was thinking of as well. (The twitter API is really terrible at this). Most people won't have enough followers to cause issues.
