Spring for Twitter - my new favorite Twitter client | AppleVis
Wasn't sure where to post this, as it has both an iOS, iPadOS, and macOS version. Decided on here, but let me know if that was a bad choice.

Need it take 7,500 people to run Twitter?
When WhatsApp was sold to Facebook in 2014, it had almost half a billion monthly users, but a team of just 50 people running everything.
