That sucks because Nitter is genuinely good software. Made Twitter feel extremely fast and lean, unlike the actual default website. Nitter defies the trend of most software today, particularly software from silicon valley companies.
Honestly I wish it would have stopped working sooner. Hard working developers don't deserve having their time wasted trying to make shit websites usable. I don't think nitter not working will have any significant dent on Twitter though.
The dev has said that before. But if this is it that sucks. It was a pretty good tool, and I'm sure they put a lot of work into something that the afrikaner just ruined for no reason.
