Proxlet: Control Twitter w/ API Proxy

We were tired of the noise on Twitter (noisy apps, lame content, erratic but otherwise valuable tweeters), so we decided to fix it. Proxlet is a Twitter API Proxy that runs scripts to modify the Twitter experience. Works with Twitter for iPhone, TweetDeck, and any other client that supports custom API URLs, including a 1-click install Chrome Extension for Twitter.com What do you think? Right approach?

Proxlet is an API proxy that sits between Twitter clients and the Twitter service to run custom scripts that modify the user's Twitter feed.

The tool lets users filter out unwanted content and accounts to reduce noise in their feed.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
