Yes, but I do have some far future plans about utilizing the "Login with Twitter" authentication method to let people use the API on their behalf, which would allow making tweets etc.

That would be very cool.

The horrible interface is probably the main reason why I never got into Twitter. It's very hard to follow stuff, bercause it gets sorted in (for me) useless ways. Plus the fact that even generally interesting people retweet (or even tweet) some cringeworthy stuff.

OK. But it seems like lots of work for just reading.

And maybe I don't read enough to trigger roadblocks. Or maybe I just block enough stuff.

If change/remove User-Agent header and disable Javascript, then can read single tweets and threads easily at mobile.twitter.com. No need to block anything.
