Fritter (Twitter Front-End for Android)

Site Development Tool Suggestions
1

Fritter has an active development, you don’t need an account to follow tweets, you have subscription groups, you can use orbot with it and more.

I would love to love Fritter but it doesn’t work most of the time.
The recent beta7 didn’t manage to help, I keep my hope for fritter to get better though.

Nitter already exists which proxies your requests through its server (make sure u have it checked in settings)

So the only feature it has is the subscription groups which Nitter is going to hopefully implement it.

In the future a simple account system will be added that lets you follow Twitter users, allowing you to have a clean chronological timeline without needing a Twitter account

Albeit, Fritter is local which is note the case of Nitter EXCEPT if you self-host it.
There’s still that attrait available, instead of sticking with an account to whatever nitter public instance.

In my case it did kinda manage to help when I followed what a user did to workaround the bug Removal of feed endpoints · Issue #668 · jonjomckay/fritter · GitHub

Toggling “Show Retweets/Replies” does fix for a moment, but stops working if both are re-enabled at the same time. After some more toggling of both options it fails completely to load. The error message states type 'Null' is not a subtype of type 'String' in type cast (same as above).

The API access seems to be working now, I assume this is now client-side.

@jerm another thing that Fritter can do which Nitter doesn’t is that you’re able to open a Twitter link in fritter without having to replace “twitter.com” with “nitter.net”, which on phone is kinda clunky to do.

Just want to mention that Fritter has now a fork that works nice and seems to have an active development

Yeah the app works better than fritter imo. I uninstalled fritter simply because It was a hassle for me to individually check each account I followed.

The dev removed the app. Quacker is no more.

We will probably end up removing these frontends because none of them work anyway.

the dev for Quacker deleted the repo, however a fork of Quacker is still going, named Squawker.

It remains to be seen for how long the YouTube frontends will continue to work
