Ask HN: How about a Twitter app with no feed or trending page?

1 points by tanujnotes 6 years ago · 2 comments · 1 min read


I want to build a minimal twitter app for social media addicts like me. Take the regular twitter app and remove the time consuming bits like feed and trending page. What you're left with is your profile page, DMs and a search button. You can visit other profiles and interact. Would your pay for an app like this?

Isn't this basically a messaging app? Search doesn't really do much if the handle/profile/id isn't associated with created/pinned content.

Telegram has the search feature. People don't use it much, except to find groups that share stickers or memes.

    Yes. You'll be left with a messaging plus broadcasting app. I'm building it for people who waste a lot of time on twitter but can't leave the platform for various reasons. I thought removing the time consuming parts might help.
