    A privacy-friendly Twitter frontend for mobile devices

  • nitter.net (or any other Nitter instance) is excellent for desktop. Nitter (instances) should offer RSS feeds, so you don't even have to use a browser to keep yourself up to date on any public Twitter account.

    However, even though Nitter instances are much lighter to load in browsers (for both desktop and mobile) compared to the native Twitter webpage, you may also benefit from Fritter, an open source frontend app for Android. (I don't know of any open source alternatives on iOS.)

    Alternative Twitter front-end

  • Or use any other Nitter instance via this page on the Nitter GitHub wiki: https://github.com/zedeus/nitter/wiki/Instances

    However, since that page can be a little outdated (because the wiki page needs to be manually updated), you can also try out this live Nitter instances status page: https://xnaas.github.io/nitter-instances/

    Since the main nitter.net instance can be rate limited at times, I highly recommend testing out the other Nitter instances out there and find one that is both consistently online and doesn't get rate limited.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
