Nice Here’s my #1 rec for
@twitter
: realize that quote tweets are a killer feature of your product. Add it as a separate part of notifications besides All and Mentions. And separate it from RTs. Ie make it “likes, RTs, QTs”. Sounds radical? It’ll push this game into hyperdrive

A former Stripe user, who now works here, has written some remarkably good documents about how we should improve various parts of Stripe.

Imagine if you could click on one of your tweets and see all the quote tweets of it. You can kinda do a clunky attempted workaround by searching for your tweet via URL but that’s a crappy UX and sometimes just doesn’t work Which is my most self-QT’d tweet? I don’t actually know

“Ok I’m imagining it. Umm 5 people quoted my tweet? Cool! So what?” no! 5 *instances* of your tweet being quoted. You can start doing threads *in reverse*. With different threads that lead to the same *destination*. completely different way of thinking

My mind is on the verge of figuring out the next level of threading and it is wild Hint: all roads lead to Rome

Now that more of us are playing the threading game: As we compete+collaborate effectively articulate things we all care about, And weave each other’s thoughts into our respective webs, The desire paths will assemble a mindcity paved with the best individual thoughts

Micah gets it!! Let’s get meta - when you go to his tweet, you should be able to click “see quote tweets” or “1 QT” or whatever and find *this* tweet. But you can’t. Yet.

Quote-tweeting is the ultimate value proposition of the internet. To be able to mark up every concept, every saying, every image—with endless levels of commentary and meta-commentary... Is the great Talmudic dream.

abuse is always a concern. to reduce the potential for abuse, a person should be able to eliminate undesirable QTs from their tweets. Or maybe toggle “only show QTs from mutuals”

Please add a tab for QTs
@jack
Maybe only after you have 1,000 followers, if it would be too confusing for beginners Or suggest it when a user first gets a tweet quote-tweeted more than 10 times

Oh man, this tweet is going crazy. How crazy? I dunno! I don't know to count quote RTs! Twitter only tracks RTs! I can't read them all! Literally! Twitter crashes when I try because more keep pouring in from beginners and top pros alike! GET THEM GIGS Y'ALL!!!!

I'd also like to request a tab in notifications just for quote tweets. bc right now they only show up in All, but not in Mentions? so if I want to respond to quote tweets, I have to scroll past all the follows, likes *and* mentions? losing track of QTs breaks my user experience
