We invested so much into Tweetbot over the past 11 years and to think everything was potentially going to end was the scariest thought. But as the days went on, I started to think more rationally and knew it would be okay. As much as Twitter has brought us success, it has also been extremely frustrating for the past 6-7 years trying to build something great with a nerfed API. (2 of 6)

The concept of Mastodon is great. Sure there are a lot of core issues that haven't been solved yet. But a decentralized social network with an open API is a dream for us...as long as there's a big enough user base for us to make a living. After spending some time on Mastodon again, we decided that we couldn't just sit around to see what happens at Twitter. We decided to port Tweetbot over, but something amazing happened in that process. (3 of 6)
