another crackpot-y idea i had that feels adjacent to this is something that let you navigate Twitter by virtual neighborhoods or scenes

this would be dope but i can also imagine people objecting to making various implicit networks more explicit lol

like unfortunately one of the main things you can do with a twitter network identifier is use it to more easily figure out who is e.g. following Bad People

what we are talking about seems like such a power user tool, vs much easier ways to check "does this person follow anyone on this list"
also twitter neighborhoods would be defined by symmetrical interaction not just following right?

my version of this lets me go down rabbit holes faster. roughly "here are clusters of tweets you recently liked. click on a cluster to make it your timeline" then be able to expand/contract by topic, network, sort by relevance vs time...

no, sorry, I am trying to just pretend it exists and does what I want. usually UX is harder than code IME

UX requires coming up with good metaphors which is hard work! or so i gather anyway

sentiment would be farther down the road, but we’re digging into this space
