The Nitter fronted supports RSS feeds directly so you can use any RSS reader, and never need to even connect to twitter.com. For example this is Carmack's RSS feed: https://nitter.net/ID_AA_Carmack/rss
Works great, but the time to add each RSS was the only downside. Was easier to write a loop script to feed it a list and have it grab rss feeds for each user.
Podcasts are just rss feeds too.
Nitter + an RSS app like Vienna is a neat solution for replacing Twitterrific on desktop.
The UX isn't as good, particularly with quote tweets just showing up as links instead of embedded in context.
Also I had to write a quick browser hack so if I open a tweet from the RSS reader to Nitter it will make it so there is a link to the original Tweet from Nitter so I can actually interact with the tweet (like, reply, etc).
But it works, it lets me see things chronologically, and it tracks which are read and unread. Thanks!
Edit: looks like this could be a good solution: https://twiiit.com

You might need to manually remove the ones that don't work. It's still better than using the Twitter website :)
No “you might like” or “x liked” posts show up there for me.
I've seen other non-algorithmic clients but none have the simple, elegant interface of Twitterrific. It was the only way I could see everything from accounts I follow. Without being able to do that easily, the service is useless to me.
