Tweeten

I guess I haven't really needed to find a new macOS Twitter client lately, but upon updating my home computers to High Sierra (finally), I found that the Tweetdeck macOS app doesn't really play nice with it.

With all this news of Twitter being in dire financial circumstances, I wonder what he'll do if Twitter shuts down during the next 4 years.
