Due to Twitter imploderizing itself by eliminating free API access, this tool will now die. I might consider rewriting it to work for Mastodon and related services based on open APIs like ActivityPub, instead. Thanks for nothing, Melon Husk! 🐦☠️🪦

Twitter continues its slow public suicide under the guiding hand of Melon Husk. I might consider rewriting Twitual to work for Mastodon and related services based on open APIs like ActivityPub, instead. Thanks for nothing. 🐦☠️🪦

Raised our combined friends/followers limit from 4000 to 4500 this morning. twitual.com/ #bigger

Due to changes in Twitter’s API limits, there are times when we can’t fetch all friends/followers. We’ll handle this better in the future.

I’m baaaaaack! twitual.com/

Found an older backup of the site code. Hoping to have something up again soon.

The server that twitual.com runs on has suffered a disk failure, all services down last 24h. I will get *something* up soon-ish.

A new version of Twitual is in the works. Hope to have it online by the end of the year. #faster #notbroken

Hmm. Well, I *thought* I had it fixed… Please use the beta for now: twitual.com:8080

I was a dumb-dumb, and didn't get Twitual updated for the Twitter API change like I should have (the beta was still working, though). Fixed.

We were down for a while, but back up as of yesterday morning. Our host moved datacenters, and we didn't catch everything in time. Doh!

Twitual: Now with fewer errors! twitual.com/blog/posts/now-w…

What's new with Twitual? bit.ly/GY0DmD

Proof that we really are working on a new version of the site: twitual.com:8080/

I'm not dead yet. I'm getting bettter! I think I'll go for a walk! #montypython

We beat the programmers into submission and Twitual.com is working again. However we can't say the same for Twitter right now.

Some technical goofs on our end are causing us to sometimes hit Twitter API limits. Please be patient while we flog the programmers.

Twitual will not be subject to the upcoming Twitter OAuthocalypse, as we do not currently use any authenticated API calls. Yay us!
