Twitter announced a test today. This test involves building furniture inside Communities. Communities are groups people join based on shared interests. Twitter wants these groups to design their own features. People call this “community furniture building”.

Twitter believes communities know best what tools they need. The test lets users propose new features. Other community members vote on these proposals. Popular ideas get built. Twitter provides the tools for this building process.
The goal is to give communities more control. They can shape their own spaces. This might make groups more active. It could help communities solve problems together. Twitter hopes this leads to better discussions.
Right now, only a small number of groups are testing this. Twitter selected these groups carefully. They are spread across different interests and sizes. Twitter will watch how people use the tool. They want to see if it works well.
Twitter plans to gather feedback. They will listen to the testing communities. Feedback will help improve the feature. Twitter might expand the test later. It depends on the results.

This experiment is part of Twitter’s broader focus. They want to improve user experience within groups. Making communities stronger is a key aim. The furniture building idea is a new approach. Twitter thinks it could be powerful.
