SlimTweet
May 12 2013
SlimTweet tries to shorten a message by applying a set of rules. For example, and
will be replaced by &
, while it is
will be replaced by it's
.
Substitutions will be made one at a time until the message reaches a target length (140 characters by default).
If SlimTweet still can’t make the message fit, it will start tweaking the Unicode characters which make up your message, without changing its appearance too much. For example, the digraph vi
will be replaced by the roman numeral character ⅵ
. When rendered in a standard font, these substitutions are nearly inⅵsible.
