 # SayMinimal
 
-SayMinimal is a simple, write-only¹ client to Twitter (or [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/), or both). The point of SayMinimal is to map it to a keypress so you can press a button, comment on something, and then go back to what you were doing before.

-After that, the GUI should walk you through OAuth setup. Basically, you can choose to use the default Consumer Key pair that's hard-coded into the app, or you can provide your own. I recommend you provide your own because random people can find and abuse consumer keys that are published along with the source. You also need to authorize the app to read and write to your Twitter account (verifying it with a PIN).

 ## Config
 
 SayMinimal saves its configuration in `~/.config/sayminimal/conf.yml`, which you can delete at any time to reset. The only conf saved in the current version is the four OAuth keys.

-## Sentimental Historical Stuff
 
-SayMinimal originated as a script I shared on the [Arch Linux forums in May of 2010](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=96465). Man, I was _really_ a novice back then. This version of the program is much redone to take advantage of modern libraries and Twitter features.
+## What happened to Twitter?
 
-## What about GNU Social / Mastodon?
-
-SayMinimal can also post toots to Mastodon. If you have both a Twitter and Mastodon account it can post messages to both. (If the message is too long for one but not the other, it'll send one while the other returns an error. The account configuration stuff is pretty rough and there's not a good way to handle things like mentioning users in one but not the other, but that's life.
+SayMinimal originated as a Twitter client before adding Mastodon support. For various reasons, most notably Twitter intentionally breaking the API, SayMinimal v4.0 no longer works with Twitter. Any future development (no promises) will be focused on better Mastodon support.
