Nice work @gliechtenstein, great idea and frankly a huge improvement on the current UI. However I *do* like to see what's trending, at least somewhere. Is that something you could fit in as a toggle option?
@cyberneticdave thanks! maybe i'll just open source this so anyone can add features :)

Beautiful. I use Twitter in a few different ways, and this UI is excellent for one of them. Like the idea of extending the app to include other modules for other personas, too. (Twittttter are you reading this?)
Hey guys, this project was a result of my frustration with Twitter's UI. I use Twitter 99% as a newsreader, and Twitter's web UI is not really optimized for that kind of usage.
Here are some of the highlights:
1. Get rid of modals
2. Thereby allowing for multitasking on Twitter (read through a comment thread on the right side while scanning the feed on the left, scanning the feed while watching a Youtube video on a Tweet, etc.)
3. Also minimize the number of clicks people have to make (by auto-expanding all vertical images, etc.)
I actually wrote a post that elaborates on this--why I built this, and how this improves upon Twitter's own web interface, and why it's best for lazy people like me as well as hardcore Twitter users--please check it out:

Maybe it's just me who feel this frustration, but I guess the only way to find out if others feel the same way is to build something and listen. Would love feedback!

Revolutionary. I had stopped even trying to read my twitter stream in Twitter -- I have been using Flipboard as a better way to go. This might turn me around.
@stoweboyd Thank you! good to hear you feel the same way!

Interesting take. Not a fan of the working version though. Images end up too large, and moments section doesn't work right (using chrome on desktop). Good luck
after reading the medium post, I think this layout is very thoughtful in terms of UX. I would love to try it out.

Hello;
I can't install it.
I have the error "Cannot load extension with file or directory name _metadata. Filenames starting with "_" are reserved for use by the system.".
