Blast from the past: video of my old iOS app Tweet Library. I forgot how much I loved this app. 📦
Numeric Citizen I remember (used this app too). Now Twitter is gone ,as well as, lick-able UI design. Good for the former, bad for the latter.
John Chandler that’s fun… I remember mostly using it on my iPad. Thought it was even better on that screen.
Manton Reece @johnchandler Oh yeah, the very first version was iPad-only, in fact!
💬 John Philpin like @pratik .. never heard of the app until now … I like collections .. any chance that functionality might arrive in MicroBlog?
Manton Reece @JohnPhilpin @pratik Yes. I think we’ll have categories for bookmarks at some point, similar to the existing categories for your own blog posts.
💬 John Philpin That sounds good - but not sure that is what I want. Who knows about others?
For me - I am never going to be using Bookmarks for long term archive. I do use them - but they are to hold my place for something I want to go back to at some point in the future … save me having to find posts and replies in the timeline through search which is far from reliable. So, my main/(only?) use is to bookmark posts and replies that I want to reply to OR append one of my own posts etc etc … when done - it is unbookmarked.
What caught my eye about collections is that I can group any and all replies and posts in the stream into a single place.
Use Case Example … I might be interested in music recommendations that constantly appear in the stream - i don’t always react - but on seeing a post or reply I could add to my collection ‘music recommendations’ … i do not want to fill up my bookmarks with collections.
If that doesn’t make sense - happy to describe further.
