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.

My best solution for drafting and publishing threads is @andyga0’s Mercury extension for Roam. Separates tweets by bullets, gives you a URL receipt of the link, gives you per bullet character counts using Twitter rules. I still keep a local graph for this purpose w/ Tweetdeck too

Honestly, I can't imagine a better drafting experience outside of Twitter... you can even send threads from rearranged block references. I use TweetDeck to search for tweets to reference.
Only problem is that it's hard to access offline.

For offline, there's an extension for Obsidian that will allow you to write threads in a markdown file. I'm not sure if it's as mature with respect to posting pictures and enforcing accurate character counts with URLs.

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

Oh, that’s very nice. I wish I could use it in the “native” TweetDeck. This may make me switch to TweetDeck-in-browser.
