Just an unbelievably awful story about how Twitter screwed over 3rd-party devs. Though I might use “Phony Stark” from now on instead of “Elno.” https://daringfireball.net/...

Are you a (sadly, now former) Twitterrific or Tweetbot user? Do this: 1. Reinstall the app(s) from the iOS App Store. 2. Tap the “I Don't Need a Refund” button. 3. Know you helped a small developer whose work you've appreciated. More details here: https://daringfireball.net/...

If you were a happy paying customer of Tweetbot or Twitterrific, consider launching the latest update and opting out of the refund. The money comes out of the devs' pockets and the apps not working anymore isn't their fault—you can help ease the load. https://sixcolors.com/...
