Thank you. I have to admit though this is my 5th product this year, I'm on a roll, so I do accept criticism - indeed though I felt that the parent comment was just plain wrong in this case.
Get it out there for people to try and give feedback on.
I appreciate the effort and thinking that has gone into a product like this.
Sure there are a whole bunch of features that I would love to see added but I'm sure that will come with time.
The fact that it targets PoC, LGBTQ+ and Women is a fantastic start. I remember an article that went around on HN a while back that analyzed the gender balance of twitter follows, and the results were not good.
Working on diversity in tech and on twitter and highlighting women over men is not sexist, it's pushing the needle back in a direction that it needs to go in.
Men are not default.
