X wants $8/mo so you can fix a typo. We thought that was funny. So we built a way to do it for fifty cents. No subscription. No checkmark. No loyalty oath.

At $8/mo, you’d need to edit 16 tweets per month to beat our price.
You don’t edit 16 tweets a month. Nobody does. They know that.
// ORIGIN
Why this exists.
One day, someone tweeted “I love pubic transit” to their 4,000 followers. They panicked. They opened X Premium. They saw $8/month. For a backspace key.
That someone was one of us. And instead of paying a monthly subscription for a feature that should’ve been free since 2006, we spent a weekend building this.
TweetEdit isn’t a platform. It isn’t a movement. It isn’t disrupting anything. It’s a tiny tool that does one thing: lets you fix a mistake for fifty cents instead of forty-eight dollars a year.
That’s it. That’s the pitch. That’s the whole company.
