Show HN: We made an app for managing your Twitter favorites
- paynedigital 14y agoPossibly of additional interest is a writeup of the tech stack powering faavorite.com which somebody submitted a couple of weeks ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3802872 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3802872 :)
- maxw3st 14y agoI have to give the faavoriteapp crew a big thumbs up vote. Excellent for those of us who use Twitter to track things & people we want to bookmark for later reference. Great design, use it often.
- shanehudson 14y agoI am quite a regular user of faavorite, it gives me a reason to favourite tweets which beforehand was pretty useless!
- zackattack 14y agoReally Cool! . a little Marketing brushup and you'll go a long way.!
- csswizardry 14y agoThank you! > a little Marketing brushup and you'll go a long way This is where we’re struggling at the moment; we’re just a couple of devs on a hobbyist app right now. The next ‘sprint’ we’re hoping to dedicate to marketing and ideas and the like :)
- svolinsky 14y agoGreat App! I favorite tweets for reading them later, but with the tagging, seems like I can expand on that. Suggestion -- I can now only see 3 tweets on the screen (1920x1080), because of all extra buttons/text/tags. Is there a way to collapse ?
- csswizardry 14y agoThanks! That’s a great question, we need to ponder that because faavorites do take up a lot of space because of all the other data they carry. Perhaps a toggle between all open and all closed…?
- mikecane 14y agoI'd like an "Express View" like that too, to get more on the screen. Maybe smaller text in each too.
- csswizardry 14y agoAlso guys—anyone reading this who’s signed up—if you have any non-tech Twitter friends you might want to invite that’d be awesome! A quick glance over the site should tell you that the majority of users so far are web-dev types and we’d really like to diversify sooner rather than later! Cheers, Harry
- stevederico 14y agonot to be a jerk, but organize is spelt incorrectly in your title tag. should be 'organize' not 'organise'
- csswizardry 14y agoWe’re English so it’s hard to balance the two; we used ‘favorite’ as that’s what they’re called on Twitter but proper English has crept in in places. We’ll probably move over to all American–English at some point. Cheers! H

- mikecane 14y agoYour site is claiming I have 792 Favorites (Twitter won't enumerate). Will all those be able to import?
- csswizardry 14y agoSure thing, we can grab all of those (unless any were authored by a protected user). EDIT: If you have a particularly large amount of favorites, faavorite will put you on a drip-feed import where we just grab them 200 at a time. This means you can still look around the app (or go make a coffee, or go to bed, or anything) and we’ll just grab them for you until we get all of them.
- guiambros 14y agoOh boy, finally! I've been looking for a Twitter Favorites-manager for a long, long time. Glad finally someone is addressing the problem. The overall usability is a bit weird (but based on your poll I wasn't the only one - 85% also said the same :)) but hey, it's already 10x better than any other alternative. Hope you guys continue to develop the product and find creative ways to make a business out of it.
- csswizardry 14y agoThanks for the great comment! We’re really excited about faavorite and we’re thrilled to have you on board :D H
