Some suggestions for Twitter to help devs struggling with the Streaming API deprecation

I'm writing this up in a hurry tonight, apologies if it's a little rambly/ranty. There are a lot of devs out there who have really great apps that rely on the Streaming API and really want to port their apps to webhooks but have no idea how to do it because the technical communication around all this has been scattershot.

The social media client I want

Things I want from a social media client:

My own algorithms/filters

I want to filter content in not just out, I want to do it by:

…people I don’t want to miss and the conversations they’re having with others I follow but don’t need to always pay attention to.
…keywords, but also give something like word2vec a training dictionary of documents important to me (eg full text of my browsing history, zotero library, and ebook library), find words related to the words I want (eg, tell it I want “open government” and it’ll also find “open data”, “civic tech”, and “transparency”).
…event- and time-based topics
