Is Twitter preparing a competitor to Medium, this ultra-simplified blog posting platform? In any case, this is what Jane Manchun Wong’s discovery suggests.
The reverse-engineered developer, well known for breaking down website and app code, has just uncovered Twitter Article, a feature that Twitter is reportedly currently working on.
The platform would therefore be on the verge of offering a new type of publication, long-format articles published directly on Twitter. If the function is confirmed, it could allow users to publish messages by overcoming the limit of 280 characters per tweet without the need to create “threads”.
For the time being, there is no indication whether this functionality will be deployed, or whether it will be offered to all users. All scenarios therefore remain possible, such as the possibility that these Articles are only reserved for users who subscribe to the paid Twitter Blue offer.
