<p>Much of Twitter’s brand identity dates back to Twitterrific which was the first client built for the service, but Twitter infamously made it difficult for developers to make a business out of Twitter apps a few years ago with a tokenization system and API limitations.</p>
<p>The result has been almost zero competition in the Mac Twitter client space and a lackluster official app. Development for Twitterrific for Mac has been financially unsustainable (https://9to5mac.com/2014/11/25/twitterrific-5-twitters-war-on-developers/) so the desktop client has become outdated with every change Twitter makes to the service.</p>
<p>Now Iconfactory (http://blog.iconfactory.com/2017/02/project-phoenix/) which developers Twitterrific is launching a new Kickstarter campaign called Project Phoenix (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1548768604/twitterrific-for-mac-project-phoenix/) that aims to fund development of a modern Twitterrific for Mac.</p>
