Awesome

Deprecated

Me and others put a lot of work into this project to make the Mobile Twitter site great as a desktop app. I've chosen to deprecate it now, as it's impossible to keep up with the Mobile Twitter ever changing React class names. I don't have time to update a bunch of CSS-selectors every other week. Thanks for all the fish.

Happy to let anyone else take over if interested.
