Some of the features of Etcher include "Validated Burning, no more writing images on corrupted cards and wondering why your device isn't booting. Hard Drive Friendly, makes drive selection obvious to avoid wiping your entire hard-drive. Beautiful Interface, ho said burning SD cards has to be an eyesore. Open Source, made with JS, HTML, node.js and Electron. Dive in and contribute! Cross Platform, works for everyone, no more complicated install instructions. More on the way, 50% faster burns, simultaneous writing for multiple drives.
"Here at resin.io we have thousands of users working through our getting started process and until recently we were embarassed about the steps that involved burning an SD card. There was a separate track for each Mac/Windows/Linux and several manual and error-prone steps along the way.
"To our surprise there was nothing out there that fitted our needs. So we built Etcher, a SD card burner app that is simple for end users, extensible for developers, and works on any platform." from the Etcher.io website.

"Twitter is an online news and social networking service on which users post and interact with messages known as "tweets". Tweets were originally restricted to 140 characters, but on November 7, 2017, this limit was doubled for all languages except Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. Registered users can post tweets, but those who are unregistered can only read them. Users access Twitter through its website interface, through Short Message Service (SMS) or mobile-device application software ("app"). Twitter, Inc. is based in San Francisco, California, and has more than 25 offices around the world.
"Twitter has a history of both using and releasing open source software while overcoming technical challenges of their service. A page in their developer documentation thanks dozens of open source projects which they have used, from revision control software like Git to programming languages such as Ruby and Scala. Software released as open source by the company includes the Gizzard Scala framework for creating distributed datastores, the distributed graph database FlockDB, the Finagle library for building asynchronous RPC servers and clients, the TwUI user interface framework for iOS, and the Bower client-side package manager. The popular Twitter Bootstrap web design library was also started at Twitter and is the second most popular repository on GitHub." From Wikipedia.
