Can you expand on the issues you have with TweetDeck?

First line in the README specifies that this project is a response to Tweetdeck.

Yes, but why?

1. I hate infinite scrolling and algorithmic surfacing. It's maximizing engagement and not giving me content I care about. I don't care for the dopamine rush.

2. I want to leverage visual memory, you know what you've seen even over a few days, and it's easy to scan through a list of peoples' last posts to know you've already seen it. A quick scan with positional context that doesn't mutate every 30 seconds trying to keep you from bouncing.

Imagine reading a newspaper where the columns reloaded every 30 seconds.

This tries to be precisely the opposite of that, though individual user columns will update if they post, that's part of Twitter's iframe JS though, so out of my hands.
