I'm thinking about building a Reddit-like Twitter client that has sane conversation threading and better discovery. Would that be of interest?

I built one of those. Twitter's API isn't going to do you any favors. There is no publicly available API to get the replies to a tweet. So building out a full thread is hard. Then once you figure out how to use their internal API you'll quickly hit rate limits </3

I'd prob use Twitter more with an RSS style client, akin to NetNewsWire.

I have zero interest in retweets, replies, threads, hearts, etc.
