Seems pretty useful, but the permissions it's requesting are beyond what I'd agree to. Why does it need permissions to post, DM, create lists, like, and do anything other than follow and unfollow accounts?
@tomjohndesign Unfortunately, I need to use Oauth1.1 for authentication and it doesn't give me fine-tuned permission checks. I will look at the DMs though, I think that is offered as an option to disable. If I included that, it was a mistake. I initially built it using Twitter's OAuth 2 authentication, but that is unfortunately buggy right now and wasn't stable enough have the product built on it.
@tomjohndesign thanks for the heads up! I did have the level of read/write with DMs checked instead of just read/write. So I adjusted that down a level. But that's unfortunately as much as I can reduce the scope of permissions.
@tomjohndesign agreed. I went to sign-up but instantly stopped in my tracks because of that

Several months ago, I was on Twitter and went to follow someone, only to get blocked.

Turns out, I had hit their magical limit of 5000 accounts followed and wasn't allowed to follow anyone else. So I started going through the painstaking process of looking back through the accounts I followed to clear them out. And as I was doing so, I realized that a number of the accounts I followed hadn't tweeted in months.

And this product was born. So I analyze your account to let you know how many dormant accounts you follow, with "dormant" being defined as no original tweets in the last 3 months (I don't count retweets).

You can get the account analysis for free and if you want to see the dormant accounts, you can pay $1/month to get access to those accounts. There is also a $5/month tier that can automatically unfollow dormant accounts for you each month and opens up access to be able to unfollow multiple accounts at once.

Or, alternatively, you can pay a 1 time $5 fee to get a single month of access, during which you can perform all the actions on the app and just don't have to worry about monthly payments.

Please let me know if you have any questions! I'm happy to answer them!

Been looking for a tool like this for a long time. Thank you Leo!!
No free analysis provided just the request to pay for removal at one of the tiers.
@goldstrom You can see the number of dormant accounts you follow for free and see the visualization of dormant accounts to active accounts. But yes, to identify the specific accounts that are dormant, you do need to sign up for one of the paid tiers.
@goldstrom @leo_guinan might just be me, but I see nothing other than "Analysis has been completed" and then a big CTA to charge me. So right, the analysis was free, but to see the data, I have to pay?

@goldstrom @mobilpadde You can actually go to this URL and see the numbers: https://app.whoshouldiunfollow.c...

To see the specific accounts that are dormant, yes, that's available in any of the paid tiers. But you can at least see the makeup of the accounts you are following.

Looks like I need to improve the UX around that. Thanks for the feedback!
