Ciao Riz The work you did on Reddit is immense.
I was a big pusher for change. But I did NOTHING practical. Shame on me (well, apart from Twitter). I STILL think we are left with very UNKEMPT systems. And as it gets yet more complex and interestingly rich it gets even worse for a beginner, I think. Take, for instance, SAVING TW. Now we have many excellent methods. But if you are not reading the list daily its actually, for many a newbie, more info than you can cope with. WHICH method? FOR what? HOW can I get clearer what to do? I dunno what the solution is. Your Reddit is v. good in that you tend to lift out the MAIN themes and its a *definite plus* to have it simple enough to follow main developments. But still STEERAGE is somewhat lacking I think. There is maybe a lacking ACCESS ROUTE that is clear enough for a new user who knows nothing and is NOT interested in D.I.Y. to get up and running. That issue is partly orthogonal to which particular forum you read. Possibly PART of the issue devolves to clearer delineation of TYPES of TW? By which I mean delineation of DIY versions from whole, finished apps (where dabbling is very secondary & its easier to say what they are). Something like that.
