bettertwitter

This is a better twitter search UI for power users. This helps you build queries for the Twitter search API better than the Twitter "Advanced Search" can

Opinions currently baked in

• Opens searches to mobile Twitter
• Sorts by latest results instead of "top"
• "People you follow" is checked by default
• Less-used Filters and numerical Quality is collapsed

Roadmap

• Easy
  • decide on datepicker
  • basic design refactoring
  • persist choices to cookies
  • put state in URL to make it sharable/bookmarkable
  • recent searches
  • document what each filter does and how useful it is. Tooltip?
• Harder
  • advanced design refactoring
  • autocomplete usernames based on logged-in account's follows
  • OR logic builder on applicable fields
  • save search to db
• Hard/Maybe never
  • search logged-in user's lists
  • load in iframe on desktop?

Non Search opportunities

• recommended unfollows
• limited, sorted daily content
• immutable draft url's https://twitter.com/rektide/status/1127360848329084928
