- Original Traffic Source: Twitter
- Original List Location: Twitter
- Niche / Vertical: Web Development
- Background: I saw this Twitter thread from a designer who I follow. I thought this would look much better on Listium than on Twitter, and would also benefit greatly from a couple of new features we have planned.
- Looking Forward:
  > The author of this list planned to post 50 ideas in this thread. He never made it that far. I plan to reach out to find out why, but my guess is that he realised that a Twitter thread was maybe not the best place for information like this. (Or maybe he just ran out of ideas or forgot!).
  > 
  > If we have a \*\*following\*\* feature, people could follow this list and be notified of every new tweet. He would not be relying on the Twitter algorithm to show it to the right people.
  > 
  > Also, with \*\*public commenting\*\* on Listium (with commenting at the item level, not just the list level) it would be much easier for his followers to discuss each item in their own separate discussion. Twi
- Focus: Yes
