    What is Nitter?

    A free and open source alternative Twitter front-end focused on privacy.
    Inspired by the invidio.us project.

    - No JavaScript or ads
    - All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Twitter
    - Prevents Twitter from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
    - Unofficial API (no rate limits or developer account required)
    - AGPLv3 licensed, no proprietary instances permitted
    - Dark theme
    - Lightweight (for @nim_lang, 36KB vs 580KB from twitter.com)

    What's not to like about it?

    • On average it's around 15x lighter than Twitter, and therefore serves pages faster most of the time
    • Open source
    • Protects your privacy from Twitter as JavaScript can be disabled and tweets can be served through proxies

    I'm really looking forward to the 'simple account system' which is currently under development. Until then, using multi twitter feeds by putting semicolons between account names works great as well (for example https://nitter.net/thatcks,segphault,troyhunt).

    Said about Nitter as an alternative

    It's a good front-end alternative to Twitter, if you like privacy and such. It's not an alternative _service_ to Twitter, as it still connects to Twitter servers.
