The future of ModernDeck
### June 2023 Update Twitter has killed several APIs relied on by TweetDeck, rendering ModernDeck largely useless. This is the end of the road for ModernDeck. It's been fun! Original text: Let's get this out of the way: After more than 8 years of development, **development of new ModernDeck features is halted and Twitter will likely break your ability to use it in the near future**. It's painful to have to put down something you've been developing on and off for the better part of a decade, but I cannot see *any way forward* for a variety of reasons that I'll get into. [Many of these issues are shared with Better TweetDeck](https://github.com/eramdam/BetterTweetDeck/issues/848), and Better TweetDeck's demise was the last push I needed to clarify what the hell is going on. I cannot continue to put labor into a company that hates its developers and its users. ### TweetDeck Originally called TweetDeck Enhancer, ModernDeck started as a way for me to improve the look and feel of TweetDeck, and eventually add new features to it. First starting as a mod for the now-dead TweetDeck for Mac, it quickly emerged as a browser extension, and eventually, a dedicated desktop app built with Electron. TweetDeck as it stands now is missing tons of features found on Twitter's more contemporary clients. Some of these features can and have been grafted in, such as a GIF picker, but other features such as managing threads prove far too difficult to try to graft in. This means ModernDeck will
