Maybe Twizzy twizzy.app can make your Twitter feed feel personal while not causing you to spend more than time on Twitter itself?

It’s an app to post tweets without logging into Twitter and losing yourself browsing the timeline.

Personally I’m mostly interested in howtos and what a person is up to in tech land, like work in progress things. The bot tweet is super interesting.

I mostly post animated gifs of what I’m building (screen captures), it’s super quick to make and people love to see things in motion.

Maybe this helps you find your mojo!

Thanks for the lead! I'm always shy to post things in-progress, but you've inspired some interesting thoughts on that topic. What's the biggest benefit you get from posting your gifs?

The benefit is twofold

Most of the times it is likes/retweets, which I hope put the tweet in other people's timelines which in turn might trigger them to follow me and get interested in my work. Or at least make them aware of the existence of my products / my activities. People like seeing these animations of work in progress things so it makes their feeds better.

Other times people give excellent feedback on what's happening in the animation and I can then bring that back into my work.
