React in conjunction with react-native-web make it very hard to mod anything in a reliable way because the component tree of the app is just a bunch of views that are indistinguishable from each other and they're all styled with machine-generated CSS classes that change depending on the underlying styles applied. ![]() ![]() Redux (state/data management) is relatively easy to poke at, and I could do some things, but it's only one piece of the puzzle.Unfortunately, the tech stack that TweetDeck Preview uses makes it very hard to extend it: The new TweetDeck is the Twitter Web App + some code to handle multiple feeds/columns 2.Ī year ago I had said I'd poke around and see what I could do, and around the beginning of this year, I started digging more seriously into how I could feasibly rewrite BTD for it. It completely breaks BTD due to how it's built.It brings feature parity with Twitter Web, which is a great thing because I had to do a lot of that with BTD.Here's how it will affect Better TweetDeck: How you feel about it isn't relevant since it will be rolled out generally at some point anyway 1. I'm opening another issue to replace #653 because quite a lot has changed since I commented there, and I figured it would act as a better redirect point for future questions/discussions about this topic.Īs you may know, Twitter has started rolling out a new version of TweetDeck. If you want to find me, I'll still be on Twitter but I'm also (more) active on Mastodon and Cohost these days. Given that the new interface is still in testing, you may want to hold off a bit till things stabilise.EDIT: As of February 2023, it is clear Twitter's new management doesn't give a shit about 3rd party developers so I am NOT going to invest any energy about building on top of Twitter's platform anymore. If you want to opt-out of the new TweetDeck Preview: Reverse Engineer Jane Manchun Wong found a way to get in: Officially, Twitter is only testing the new interface with a few randomly selected accounts but there is a workaround that you can use to get in early. There will also be new column types added to the interface like Profile, Topics, Explore, Events and Bookmarks. The new interface will now resemble the way Twitter's interface works on web but will also be adding new features such as advanced search to help people find content faster, a new composer that allows you to create threads and media content on your tweets, and the company will also make improvements to the way Tweet scheduling works. If you’re eligible, you’ll see an invitation within TweetDeck to opt in. We’re testing this preview with a small group of randomly-selected people in the United States, Canada, and Australia to start. It is currently in testing and is available only to select users. Twitter is rolling out a much-needed overhaul of the TweetDeck interface. ![]()
