What’s the biggest challenge at the moment to existing tools?

Cheers. I like your thinking.

Problem case: with so many new followers, it’s hard to find engaging accounts to follow back!

How about a tool to filter recent followers by a criteria? Like they have a bio, they post, they use x,y,z tags. Then a big button that allows me to follow back quickly.

I like Claude telling me it can’t help me with that query. Rather than bending over backwards to generate a fictional response.

Just missing a mac app.

Keep going! We've had some success with thecatapi.com (weirdly, the enterprise package is starting to gather interest).

Interesting read. With the monetization piece, is running your API behind a gateway provider like Tyk your favored approach?
