Same thing is happening with Twitteriffic - I’m assuming Twitter’s API is down, or worse: the new owner has decided that 3rd party clients are not desirable anymore

As Sean Heber, a Twitterific developer, posted it’s now a game of wait and see if this is policy or just an outage.

If it’s not an outage, I guess I expected more ceremony around this.

Elon's Twitter is the exact opposite of ceremony.

My agua fresca would like a word with whoever came up with this.

I wish Twitterific made a Mastodon client, its great UX compared to the official Twitter app is one of the major reasons I was still using Twitter.

And events like this shows they shouldn't put all their eggs in one basket.

I don't post to Twitter, but I still sometimes use Twitterrific to read it since not everybody I enjoy there has successfully moved to Mastodon.

(Although tbh it is only William Gibson, David Frum, and Grady Booch that keep me reading Twitter.)

I too thought the 'garch might have abruptly pulled the plug on the API. But then, I installed the Twitter iOS app and tried that, and it emitted a cascade of error screens, too.

So if I had to bet a dollar, I'd bet on "shit malfunctioning".

Hope this is a good old fashioned outage. However, after the “sent from” feature was recently removed, I have a hard time believing the owner has a positive opinion on the existence of the API. A shame how much it has been pared down already.
