Well, we knew it would happen sooner or later. Tweetro is officially pulled from the Windows Store. If you have the app installed and connected to twitter, it will continue to work.

But as I mentioned in the previous forum post, twitter's API limits crippled tweetro.

Ahhh, damn it.

Well, when it does come back as a premium app I will support them if the price is right. On the other hand, I'm not so comfortable with supporting third party clients with the knowledge that Twitter can continue to crap over the third party apps that gave them its traffic.

This is why I still use the pre-acquisition version of TweetDeck.

I preferred MetroTwit to Tweetro (and to HootSuite as well, which MetroTwit replaced). MetroTwit is also in the Store.

I do actually intend to snag MetroTwit at some point. I was referring more to the Desktop side of things. I've always liked MetroTwit (and know some of the team) but still always gravitate back to TweetDeck on desktop.

Twitter's API limits are ridiculous. I'm glad the same limits aren't applied by Facebook, because Friendcaster is a lot better than the official Facebook app for Android.

I first tried MetroTwit when it was originally plugged here on Neowin, back when Windows 8 was still in beta (and it was a Win32 applicaiton then - hence a direct competitor to HootSuite). If anything, it's seriously improved performance-wise since it became a straight RT app. When I mentioned the Election Night thrashing I gave it, I wasn't kidding - over half the Twitter accounts I started following came out of that thrash. HootSuite had serious issues following that many threads at once, which is why I never really pushed it; MetroTwit is like that infamous bunny. (A desktop version of MetroTwit remains available for non-ModernUI fans and those not running 8.) Because HootSuite, like MetroTwit, is full-screen-only, I lost nothing in the switch. TweetDeck reminds me FAR too much of Trillian, which I despise.

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
