Show HN: Proxlet: Control Twitter w/ API Proxy

46 pointsby aaronwhiteover 14 years ago
We were tired of the noise on Twitter (noisy apps, lame content, erratic but otherwise valuable tweeters), so we decided to fix it. Proxlet is a Twitter API Proxy that runs scripts to modify the Twitter experience. Works with Twitter for iPhone, TweetDeck, and any other client that supports custom API URLs, including a 1-click install Chrome Extension for Twitter.com<p>What do you think? Right approach?

Twitter.com + Proxlet Chrome Extension = No more foursquare updates. No more annoying conference live-tweets. No more Brett Favre speculation.<p>It's so great. I want to give it a hug.

This is pretty cool.<p>I'd love to see a list of the most hated twitter users as a measure of who is muted the most using your service. You could also do this with the hash tags to see what the most annoying trends are.

Finally a great way to customize Twitter and make it useful, while diving into some granular control. Awesome technology on the back end as well.

Wow, works great. Now I can follow people without having to actually listen to them.

I've actually started using Twitter much more entirely due to this plugin. There was way too much garbage before. Nice work.

This has transformed my experience with Twitter. I'm using it in Chrome just with the regular Twitter web client and it ROCKS! Nice work guys, definitely going to tell friends and coworkers.

Are you planning to expand this to other browsers?

Proxlet brings Twitter back to the usefulness I came to it for.
