> Can you stop with the 'just asking questions' routine?

This combative response caught me by surprise.

I have nominal awareness of what Nitter stood for in the past.

Asking people for money given the legal precariousness AND not having a more strategic business model seems sketchy to me. Even bordering on scam.

Hence my genuine curiosity about whether there's something more substantial in the works.

I agree with your thesis, but your link is to marketing images not art.

In this AI age, one ought to create desktop native apps, which I think would be more respectful of the user.
