Is Twitter still in any way relevant? I understand that those people who already have a following would be less inclined to give it up, but whenever I go back is to delete the half a dozen of bot comments on old posts of mine.

Twitter is the best source of information for AI. Much to bsky's dismay.

Not really. You still see celebrities and influencers use it occasionally. But it's fallen off dramatically compared to where it was just a few years ago. TikTok has largely replaced it.

Fun idea, I want to be posting more so this seems helpful! Might be nice to have a screenshot in the GitHub repo / Marketplace page. Is it available in Cursor? I can't seem to find it. Could be useful as a CLI utility as well.

Hey friend, thanks, I'm glad you found it useful :D. I'll post it on Cursor soon. I still need to research which extension store that editor and the others use, but I'll do it and post it when I have it there :D.

"without context switching"???

By definition going from work to writing some drivel on twitter is context switching lol.

Haha XD Well, that's true, but I did it because sometimes I feel like making a quick and short post and I didn't want to go to the app, so that's why I did it XD, but what you say makes sense.
