shit, I do so much of my thinking on twitter these days that I should probably start using some sort of hashtag scheme to make it easy to collect it all up later

I'm telling you, it's worth downloading your archive and self-publishing on kindle just for this purpose

My problem is that I have 10-15 thought streams constituting about 20% of my tweets and shitposting as the other 80%. Need easy ways to curate those 10-15 separately. is the best idea I've seen on this so far

i built for this. you can start separate threads, and then can branch off of each post in the thread into its own thread, like an outline of threads.

i also built a twitter integration so that each thread can be posted to twitter as a tweetstorm like this:

I don't think this will work on twitter this way. You need a way to a) work within the twitter interface, like a hashtag b) pull in historical tweets after the fact since most people face this problem AFTER they've accumulated tweets they now want to curate

cool, thank you for the feedback. im planning to build b. can you elaborate on a with an example?

I'd like to search twitter for term "mediocrity" by me, and go through all my past tweets and good replies on the theme and very easily file them away into a "quest" and then continue appending with a hashtag or something
Your key UX issue is the order-from-chaos problem. Until there is critical mass of tweets on a theme, I don't realize it would be worth compiling, nor do I want to put in the overhead work of doing so.

Yes, I think point b gets us most of the way to your use case. The goal is to sync your tweets and be able to search through them to easily incorporate them into quests. Then publish back out to twitter, in a way mirroring the content there.

You can separate content tweets from pointer tweets; the pointer tweets can be remade at will.
You search for content, & mark the good tweets worth saving using Quote Tweets, then make search strings for the Quote Tweets.
Everything can be done w/in Twitter.
Quote Tweet
Metadata Quote Tweets (mQTs) is my term for Quote Tweets (QT) placed on your or others tweets, & used to mark such tweets. I use a single hashtag to mark all my mQTs since this allows me to select them easily. Combined with search, this lets you do several things.
