Refined Twitter - A browser extension that improves the Twitter experience

byโ€ข

Refined Twitter improves the Twitter experience by removing cruft and adding useful features.

Available for Chrome, Firefox, Opera.

Some of the best features are: Embedding linked Instagram photos directly in the tweet, syntax highlighting of code blocks, auto-loads new tweets in the stream if you're scrolled to the top, removes promoted tweets.

Oh my god, this is what I've needed my entire life. The perfect blend of Tweedeck and Twitter. @sindresorhus, kudos. This is a powerfully simple extension for any Twitter addict. You won't notice some of the tweaks at first (eg. auto-updating twitter feed, Instagram pictures automatically included, auto-formatted code, and more), but they're crazy powerful. Can't wait to tell everyone about this. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

I have previously built a very successful browser extension, Refined GitHub, that improves the GitHub experience. This time I want to make Twitter better. Why wait for a huge corporation to prioritize users when we can leave it in the hands of the amazing open source community! Hopefully, Twitter will notice and steal some of the ideas. Let me know about your pain-points with Twitter and how we can make it better for you.

@sindresorhus Been using Refined GitHub for some time. Time to give Refined Twitter a whirl! EDIT: Can we have an option to disable certain features like with Refined GitHub?

I did something similar https://www.producthunt.com/post... a while ago. Did it have the honor of being an inspiration for Refined Twitter? ๐Ÿค” Mine simply hides stuff, though. Refined Twitter does way more useful things. ๐Ÿ˜€ Cool product, will use! The improved scroll performance is my favorite feature! ๐Ÿ™Œ

As an active social media user I liked straight link between twitter & instagram

Pros:

Link with instagram

Cons:

Don't think that other features are so useful

This is good, but one thing that bugs me - clicks outside of the popup modals (say messages modal) does not close that modal.

@arunsathiya Only the messages modal, and itโ€™s to prevent you from accidentally clicking outside and lose what you were writing. A better solution might be to persist the message. See https://github.com/sindresorhus/...

Nice. Please do something about the display of tweetstorms. I can't tolerate constantly looking where to read next.

Can I reduce the images size? I never use Twitter on the web because the images are too big and annoying.

@jitowix Do you mean the tweet image thumbnails? Open an issue, and we can consider making it an option if more people are interested in this.

Ok, now the same for Youtube please ๐Ÿ˜—

Who uses twitter in the first place ?

I definitely need this, especially since I'm constantly posting on Twitter.

Awesome extension, @sindresorhus! Really looking forward to trying it out. Would be awesome if it could somehow hide re-tweets from people and only show content that they actually wrote themselves. Do you think it's possible?
