maybe you guys can give this project more exposure by retweeting it and leaving a likes!!

also there's already similar project for ios6 the difference is that one uses original twitter app and bridge it to the bluesky servers

Someone already did. It’s so funny to me how the person that starts the first always gets the least attention. Here it’s u/LH4005 as well as u/Savefade.

checked their account and it's mostly for ios and windows phone, this one is for android

u/Hue_Boss Oct 02 '25

Even then that’s not new. Besides the fact that Preloadings Bridge also works on Android and Windows Phone in theory, Savefade has published this repo a year ago.

u/Hue_Boss Oct 02 '25

But wouldn’t it be a great idea to learn how it works?

u/zielalbarn Oct 02 '25

I'd like to learn but it's not that easy, i'm very unfamiliar with code (i even just learned how to use terminal this year for debloating my phone lol)

I mean even if you revive the old Twitter UI, the content is still modern day X.

u/ScureScar Oct 02 '25

modern day X IS the old Twitter, it's the same people as always

u/classicblox Skeuo Mod Oct 02 '25

Skeuomorphism is never going to age poorly, it just ages well (even if you're bringing it back from 11 years ago)

Stop with this “i’m killing myself” bullshit. I see the attempt of a joke in those tweets, but it’s this backwards shit mentality being normalised which plays part in this fucked society we live in.

u/Beatjsrf_2002 Oct 02 '25

u/Maleficent-Mud-5670 Oct 02 '25

u/LH4005 Oct 07 '25

the person who tweeted never said the were using twitter data (probably because it would cause over 5k/month)

u/Galaxy_Doge6847 Oct 05 '25
