(Five Tweets this week that made us think )
π₯ Hot:Β Spoonbill.io
π Spoonbill.io is a daily newsletter that publishes changes people make to their Twitter bio.
At its best, you can subscribe to stay up-to-date on whatβs new with the projects and careers of the people you follow. Kind of like LinkedInβs change notifications, if they werenβt worthless.

Here are two hot takes:
