Distracted by the timeline when trying to tweet?

Posted November 22, 2020

At least a couple of times a day, I open Twitter with an idea in mind for a tweet, but get distracted reading other tweets before I post 🤦🏻‍♂️.

That's why I created this simple Chrome Extension, to remove any distraction from the timeline or trending sidebar when first opening Twitter. There is instead a simple overlay (which can be minimised or closed) with an autosaving text box for you to note down ideas for tweets. To make things easier there is a character count tool that can be opened to check the length of a tweet before attempting to post.

Out of ideas of what to Tweet? There are a couple of handy links at the top of the overlay with guides and suggestions on how and what to tweet, i'll be adding a selection of random but "valuable" tweet prompts in future updates to the extension.

Finally there is a quick link to view your lists and when viewing someone's profile a search box has been added to the right sidebar to search their tweets.

Any suggestions? Find me on twitter @russellbarnard
