We’ve found an article on Twitter’s potential shutdown of the api

Hello folks,

So I decided to start coming around the different tech sites, of course starting at CNET, but this afternoon I decided to go on to the Verge. Your favorite Twitter bot might die next week/ which was posted today.

Don’t know what this means to the accessible apps like Tweesecake, TW Blue and others, but I was tipped off as I posted earlier today.

This article does indicate some of the accessibility stuff, but didn’t mention any of the potential blindness or other disabled apps that we use.

I guess we’ll see over time, but maybe this means that services like DLVR and IFTTT may not work. I’m not sure on that, but if it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t work. I’m saddened to hear about this just the same, but this is something official.

See everyone later!

  1. Myself the only issue I have with twitter is the fact dms and such on its site are just well I don’t like the interface is all.
    I hardly use it mostly for viewing.
    I have mastodon but really wordpress is my jam.
    I know of at least 1 person that says he will quit twitter for ever and only post on his website which is a shame.
    Another says he does not use clients at all.
    Its a shame but on the other side twitter is not making money over third party access to be honest.
    In fact a lot of these companies have issues.
    Voice assistants don’t aparently make their makers cash either.
    Doesn’t mean they won’t die but there you go.
