Reply to a post on X

How-to

For anyone replying on x.com (twitter.com works too). The whole loop is pick, point, Enter, insert, Reply.

Pick the post, add your point, press Enter, insert. You press Reply.
  1. Click the wave button in the post's action row, or open X's own reply box. The panel shows Replying to with the author and the post. In a thread it also reads the post above (In a thread under @…) and any quoted post (Quoting @…), and notes attached media (Includes an image).
  2. Give the read a second What Riff reads before it writes, then type Your point or load a saved one Write your point. The point is what you want to say; Riff rewrites it for this post.
  3. Press Enter. The reply streams in under Fresh take, sized for X: 280 characters, with every link counted as 23.
  4. Rework it if you like Rework the draft, then click Insert into reply or press Ctrl/⌘+Enter. Riff opens the reply box if it's closed and fills it.
  5. Read it over and press Reply on X. Riff never presses it for you.

Hashtags and em dashes are left out by default. If you reply to a comment in a thread, Riff treats that comment as the post and the one above it as context.
