TweetPlay

TweetPlay for iOS made its debut in 2017, with its initial prototype dating back to 2015. It stands as a personal “tweet wall” where users simply hit play and enjoy full-screen tweets. ▶️

Fun fact: the app’s interface, designed as a “story-like” experience using tweets for content, predated Instagram’s introduction of the “Stories” feature in 2016. 😎

Realizing I could airplay the app via Apple TV, I often enjoyed it on a big screen, passively following the content while multitasking. This feature also proved convenient for various events! 📺

Unfortunately, when Elon Musk acquired Twitter and closed its API in February 2023, this app, along with many other Twitter client apps, became part of history. As a consequence, Twitter is no longer fun — it’s not even Twitter anymore; now, it’s just called X. 🙅‍♂️

Taking a trip down memory lane, here’s a promotional video from the initial release:
