Hi HN,

Yarn for iOS is a simple utility app that combines Tweets into a unified thread, making it easier to follow "tweetstorms" that end up in your Twitter timeline.

I made Yarn because I found it really difficult to follow threads on Twitter, particularly ones that were partially retweeted into my timeline.

You can select a Tweet from within your favourite Twitter app, or browser, and use the iOS share sheet to open it in Yarn, which will then stitch the thread back together in the correct sequence.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, I'd love to hear them! :)

Thanks!

The current ESTA Visa Waiver form [0] (for non-residents visiting the country) asks for social media usernames, although they're currently marked as "Optional".

I'd imagine that placing a "homemade" electronic device in a densely-populated, public space is going to attract a lot of unwanted attention.

I've tried running with a club, and it's been a great help. Unfortunately, my schedule frequently clashes with theirs - hence the app ;)

I can't speak for others, but my company is a one-man show right now. I'm an iOS dev by trade, hence the app is iOS-only for now.

Thanks!

BPM is something I'm very interested in playing around with!

Thanks for the tip! :)

I see your point — I didn't intend it to sound like that!

I'm a novice runner, so I tend to run too fast for my fitness level and burn out too early.

I've just started long-distance running, and when I run too fast, I tend to burn out long before my target distance (and end up walking the rest of the way home).

With Pace.fm, I can set a desired speed and the app will help me stay approximately on-pace.

I've also tried the same and found myself getting sick quite often. In my experience, the downtime from being ill practically canceled out the late nights.

That line sent and still sends shivers down my spine.

Never heard of JSHint. Thanks for the tip!
