       | Hey HN! Developer of Twemex here.
       | 
       | Twitter is one of my favorite places for developing ideas.
       | Writing tweet threads [1] and having conversations with people on
       | Twitter has helped me develop many of my opinions about
       | computing.
       | 
       | The problem is that Twitter was designed for quick status
       | updates, not developing ideas, so the product has some gaps. I
       | started out building this browser extension to fix my own
       | frustrations, and eventually enough people asked me about it that
       | I decided to share it as a product.
       | 
       | One tip/reflection on launch strategy: I initially shared this on
       | Twitter and had people DM me to get access. This was phenomenally
       | successful for getting lots of early feedback--once there's a
       | casual private messaging channel established, a user is way more
       | likely to send feedback. I got meaningful feedback from the
       | majority of people who tried the app. I finally made a website
       | this week because the DM distribution strategy couldn't scale
       | anymore.
       | 
       | Happy to answer questions here about the product, development, or
       | distribution.
