Unfortunately, in January 2023, Twitter deactivated Twitterfall's ability to access Twitter. We're not expecting it to be reinstated, and so this ended Twitterfall's service. We'd like to thank everyone who used the app over the last 14 years. Thank you, and good night. 🪦🐦

As a precautionary measure I am rotating the oAuth keys for Twitterfall. You will need to sign in to Twitterfall again and Twitterfall will behave unexpectedly until you do. Sorry for the inconvenience.

You can use the "Link Here" link in the top, and then add &present=heading to the URL to get straight into presentation mode.

Made some changes to Twitterfall today. 1. Fixed login (sorry this took so long!) 2. Count 280 characters when composing a tweet (long tweets are still truncated in timeline though, sorry!) 3. Removed ability to view your Direct Messages (you can still send them)

I removed DMs because Twitter have made changes to their API that are difficult for me to replicate. Not impossible, but sadly I don't have the time to make it work right now 😞

Whoops! Looks like our hosting provider is having some trouble. They’re working on bringing everything back online, we’ll be back soon!

Apologies for the spots of downtime over the last couple of days. Things should be better now but I'm still working on making a couple more tweaks.

Working on adding support for 280 character tweets to Twitterfall. It’s an opportunity to refresh a few bits and pieces behind the scenes, so please be patient, I’ll do my best! 👍

(That is, more searches before you hit Twitter's rate limits, which is currently about 4 or 5 searches depending on how many tweets they have)
