There was an iOS app called Nuzzel that was my daily go to for Twitter news articles. It was also giving context for the stories such as comments made by folks retweeting it, which were actually very useful as a TL/DR and also because they would highlight some important aspect of these.

And there is also FlipBoard which you can link to your Twitter feed.

Is your aim somewhat different, I.e produce an “offline” way to read that doesn’t involve endless scrolling?

Not having to see the actual tweets was the goal. The problem with connecting my Twitter feed to Flipboard e.t.c is that I'd get exposed to every careless tweet/thread/flame war. The hypothesis with PaperDelivery is that the external links that appear on my twitter feed has less frivolous content since it's not limited to 280 characters.

Ah I didn't know about Nuzzel - sounds useful if it can fetch just the links. According to a different comment, mailbrew.com too seems to be able to do this.


Twitter purchased and killed Nuzzel in May. It was great before that.
