Show HN: List tweets by source. Reveal who tweeted. Example provided

Apart from the use case that you have mentioned, there is another little way this can be helpful to users.

If any startup/side project is putting effort in Twitter, it is safe to assume that they will tweet at least 200 times a month (the number of recent tweets that this app searches). With that, users can check every month how their avg. likes and RTs are increasing (engagement level).

It would be useful to show Total likes and RTs for each source device, possibly in the line next to average numbers because most people are likely to average between 0 and 2 when they are starting and this is not encouraging.

I have found that the source device often reveals more than expected with public figures. Here's Tim Cook's, for another example: https://saucetweet.com/?username=tim_cook There is a lack of tweets from a Mac compared to other device types (iPhone/iPad).

In the case of Trump, he only tweets from his Android, so all of the other tweets are done by his team. If you read through them side by side the difference is night and day in their intonation too.

This is all made easy by the fact that the 'source' is a publicly available part of the Twitter API: "'source' 'String' : 'Utility used to post the Tweet, as an HTML-formatted string. Tweets from the Twitter website have a source value of web.'"
