So everyone was joking about Konmari-ing their Twitter, but I went ahead and made a tool for that:

Say hello to ✨ Tokimeki Unfollow ✨!

Hang out with virtual me and go thru your follows one by one. Do their tweets spark joy? If not, hit [Unfollow]!

tokimeki-unfollow.glitch.me

If you've ever actually konmari'd anything, you'll know it takes a LONG time and a LOT of hard decisions. I've been working on this tool for 3 weeks and I still haven't finished Konmari-ing my 1000 initial follow (now at 600~ left)

But if you finish, there's something waiting!

I had a lot of fun making this on @glitch, using promises, @expressjs @vuejs and the @TwitterAPI (alas, rate limits!) for the first time and learned a lot!

View/remix it on Glitch: glitch.com/edit/#!/tokime…

Thanks to @sabrina @kwuchu @justinmduke for their guidance and help!

And yes, it works on mobile! I don't have an iPhone for screen recording, but I spent a LOT of time writing some ~TERRIBLE~ iframe resizing code to support Twitter embeds on iOS so please try it!

You can save/sync your progress across multiple devices.

(BTW I am really not joking about Twitter rate limits, this app might get suspended if too many people use it, but that's why you can 'remix' (aka Glitch version of forking) it and host it yourself (if you have a Twitter developer account).

Also: I am starting to look for work soon! Since I just spent 3 weeks on this tool I don't have a new folio yet, but if you know of a:

~remote role as a product manager/designer/engineer hybrid~

...lmk!

I like tools, learning, and new technologies, and will be based in TX.

Added some common reqs under Options > Advanced Options:
- Skip confirmation step (The one w [Undo][Next] buttons)
- Keyboard shortcuts

Also added better logging, so if you run into any errors, please send screenshots/console logs (on desktop > cmd opt i > 'console' tab)

- Added a README for ppl interested in reading code/remixing it on @Glitch glitch.com/edit/#!/tokime…

I know there're more features people requested, but as this was originally a personal project, I am keeping this to be focused on what I need.

Please remix it the way you like!
