Zed is creating Nitter, an alternative Twitter front-end
Description
A free and open source alternative Twitter front-end focused on privacy.
After a long hiatus Nitter is back, and nitter.net lives once more. Hosting an instance is now difficult and expensive, but I have some plans to make it easier for instance operators. If you find Nitter useful and would like to see more instances pop up, please consider donating. The next steps are rewriting in a better language, supporting embeds, developing an account system, content archival, and more. These tasks require a lot of time, so all help is appreciated.
- No JavaScript or ads
- All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Twitter
- Prevents Twitter from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
- Unofficial API (no developer account required)
- AGPLv3 licensed, no proprietary instances permitted
- Themes
- Lightweight (for @nim_lang, 58KB vs 784KB from twitter.com)
- Native RSS feeds
- Mobile support (responsive design)
