A mobile app that gives users a clean chronological X feed without forced update disruptions

X deliberately breaks older app versions to force updates, leaving users stuck with a worse UI and no control over what they see. The third-party Twitter client ecosystem shut down in 2023 when X killed affordable API access, and no funded alternative rebuilds that clean reading experience on top of X's official OAuth login. This app gives power users a stripped-down, chronological, ad-minimized X reading and posting interface that stays stable regardless of what X ships.
