Scholarcy Team (ID: 00000046a711ebd9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/26/2022 We love the Chirr App extension here at Scholarcy. It's such an easy way to turn a summary of an article into a Twitter thread, complete with images and video if you wish.

Mark Newton (ID: 000000e012840279) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/18/2021 I've been using this app for about a year now. For a free app it has a ton of stuff out of the box that save my life - like rearranging tweets and threads (even sent ones) and saving drafts (i can't remember how many threads I've lost on the regular twitter app). But where it shines is if you choose to upgrade. It's every function on twitter. Just done better.
