The core features are built, and I have a small handful of paying customers (about $100 ARR), but no where near profitable yet.
My main goal is to get better at product positioning and learning different marketing channels. I'd love to build a handful of apps to replace freelance and consulting work.
I see. Cool. Have you considered allowing sweeping of individual tweets containing certain keywords?
You'll frequently see celebrities getting in hot water for old tweets containing terms or views that are (no longer) politically correct and they end up getting cancelled for it.
My bet is that virtually all of your tweets are useless after 24 hours.
Twitter's homepage (when logged out) advertises "Happening now", and Dan Rowden of ilo recently tweeted that after 24 hours Twitter stops surfacing every tweet, regardless of how popular it is.
Twitter is a chat room and all chats have some sort of context. Old tweets that get surfaced don't usually get surfaced with all the context of the time.
It's also really hard to know today what will be politically incorrect 5 years from now.
With that said, I'd consider the opposite approach. Pick keywords that you want to keep on the record (like for you it may be #buildinpublic, or something like that) and delete the rest.
Glad to have a fellow Rails developer join our community!
What projects are you working on right now? Curious to hear what you plan to ship next.
Oh that would have been good to mention in the intro.
I'm currently building a tiny app (one may call it a "micro-SaaS") that's sole goal is to delete old tweets off of twitter.
I call it Tweet Sweeper — tweetsweeper.app

Would be useful to scan for those.
