Lawful neutral. Definitely not a cat in a hat. Opinions are of Cthulhu. what/why.
I'm giving up no Twitter mobile app, it's utterly unusable:
- Won't even talk about the "for you" timeline, madness lies that way.
- Following timeline is sorted from old at the bottom to new at the top, but threads are not! They are in reverse, so you end up reading in a zig-zag pattern.
- Threads longer than 3 tweets are collapsed, so you need to click in to read them.
- If you haven't opened the app for more than 2 days (
, I know, who does that!), then it just hides everything but the two most recent days of your timeline. If you click "show more tweets", it will, of course keep your scroll position at the 2 day old threshold, not where you actually stopped reading 
Good luck finding the place.
So I have two questions:
- Am I the only fool who reads twitter chronologically?
- Is there anything that could let me continue doing it that way? It certainly doesn't help that they killed off all third-party clients.

Someone has been reverse engineering Twitter's internal API: https://github.com/fa0311/TwitterInternalAPIDocument. Although it looks like the part about home feed is not well covered. I poked at the Twitter web app with Chrome dev tools and there are a lot of mystery blobs in there.
It's funny how the very attempt to make me use native Twitter has been more effective at making be give up on Twitter than anything else.
The stupid thing is that even their beloved Twitter Blue subscription doesn't give me what I want. And paying $100/month for developer API access for the privilege of reading their site in chronological order is a bit much.
