He already removed the login prompt which was a huge annoyance as a read only user of twitter


I recon only a legend such as Geohot him self could achieve such a complex task, bravo!


It's sort of like modern art. Maybe you could have done it, but you didn't.

This makes zero sense. Changing a screen in a page is not a technical challenge. It is a Product Management call. Things are the way they are because the product owner sat with one or more UX designer and determined that that's exactly how they want the screen to be and to stay like that for all users. The only input developers have is to get the product vision to become a reality, and bolt a bunch of tests.


Not the same. Would have done, but Twitter didn't let me do it because I don't work for Twitter.

My modern art ambitions are blocked by myself and not external parties.


> but Twitter didn't let me do it because I don't work for Twitter.

So you couldn't have done it


For me the login prompt has been replaced with a notification enablement nag screen.

At least this one can be dismissed / closed [X].


Older post but he didn't, I still see it


You can click sign in on that prompt and then there will be "X" button :)


I've done this many times and it comes back shortly afterwards. I'm not saying they should optimize for my use case and I have enormous sympathy for the Twitter engineers. However on a personal level this removes a huge annoyance when I need to read tweets. Now if I could just get Reddit to stop redirecting me to their app :)
