I’d like a “brain-streaming”-safe Twitter client:
- no timeline
- can write and publish tweets/threads, including offline
- no like/retweet counts
- shows replies/qts/DMs from mutuals, batches others for mass triage
etc. Basically: “safe” to keep open to share during the day.
Conversation
Tweetdeck is the closest I have, but it doesn’t natively support writing threads, the like/retweet counters are poisonous, the replies are too unfiltered, and it’s inexplicably glitchy.

(While I’m making a wishlist for non-commercially-viable software: it should of course also be a native Mac app.)

Just discovered: you can make TweetDeck show replies/QTs (but not DMs) only from people you follow! Creates a much calmer vibe.
(Of course one of the best parts of Twitter is conversation with people you don’t already know, but I’d rather batch that for “consme mode")

OK, and now I'm running TweetDeck with Demetricator, which removes all the poisonous numbers. I don't use FF, so using it as a dedicated TweetDeck. Thread/offline support and native app are my only remaining wishes. This is close enough, I think. Hooray!

In order to hide like / retweet counts (this works on TweetDeck too!) I use Twitter Demetricator. Basically hides every number you might see. bengrosser.com/projects/twitt

Oh boy, and with this extension, I can remove all the browser chrome. Getting there…

Same, I like the idea generally of taking control of clients & prioritizing own goals
