@vincent Could be fun to name that app. 🙂 That is basically how I use Twitter. I don’t follow anyone and don’t read the timeline. Just check mentions sometimes.

@vincent 👋 How about adding preferences (even command line ones) to the Mac app to turn off Timeline, Bookmarks, and Discover? Call it Focus Mode.

@vincent @manton Lucasfilm would frown on anything like AT–AT, AT–ST, or similar

Options for the discard pile:
Mentions.blog
Nano.blog

@vincent Maybe something like: Inbound.

@vincent I’m interested in the opposite. Timeline sans the mentions. And (optional) an indication if a post has mentions. Then swipe/tap to reveal the mentions.

@vincent What about the IKEA sounding Snabel-a? That’s the Swedish name for @ (at sign) translating to trunk-a or a with an elephant trunk. 🐘

Another suggestion is Krøllalfa, which would probably make @odd happy. 😊

@sod Haha, great names! Sometimes we call it Alfakrøll also. The names could always be Anglicized. @vincent

@vincent Achoo! (name suggestion)

@vincent Thanks for reading!

@vincent people are clearly excited - but I guess I am missing what it would do for me that the mentions tab in all the apps already does?

@jemostrom Tasty! 😋

@vincent I am
Intrigued for sure. Oh by the way …go get your 🤠

@jemostrom Oh, hadn’t heard that one before!

”Don’t cinnamon bun me!”

@vincent looks good. I would love to get one, however they are not very over the head headphone friendly.

@vincent aah - so a software version of replacing your smart phone with a real camera, a phone only phone, a remarkable tablet ….

I definitely fall into the camp of minimizing distraction - but my use case is microblog or no microblog.

will be watching :-)

@vincent “Imbound” is a nice matchup. But I love the idea of “Inbound” or something that plays off the idea. Airplane silhouette for the icon maybe?
