TwitterUI is an experimental and anecdotic twitter-client for the desktop, made of ruby and Shoes. It currently support :
- logging to Twitter ¬¬,
- fetching your friends timeline,
- sending your status to Twitter.
- Automatic refresh of your friends timeline every 3 minutes.
- Character count
- Cached avatars images.
- Minimal configuration options
Todo
So I’d like to add :
- Pagination
- More config. option (reload times, colors, etc…)
- Upload of media content (through twitpic maybe?)
- Automatic URL shrinking services (like tinyurl, xrl.us, …)
- Some kind of notifications on new updates from your friends: sound probably, since shoes does not support pretty notifications that pops out of your system tray bar yet. ^^;
- Keeping a history of displayed timelines to be able to show more than twenty.
- Private sent/received messages ?
- Displaying a user’s profile
Getting it
You can grab it from github at http://github.com/oz/twitterui/ (click “download”), or if you have git installed on your system :
git clone git://github.com/oz/twitterui.git
If you’re using Twitter (heh), you can follow “ephoz”, where I sometimes talk in english about TwitterUI. However, it’s mostly french ramblings, and updates for friends. :p
