Open Source Twitter Client
Sunday, June 15th, 2008So I recently started an open source Twitter client in hopes of starting some collaboration to produce a client that will be more along the lines of what I and others would like to see. It’s currently called TweetTweet but a new name is under discussion, possibly Tweetledum.
The client currently does a lot of the basics, one of the features I really wanted is caching of tweets. The current status of the project includes this feature along with ability to search all the tweets. This helps people focus on new tweets with it’s ability to track what you’ve seen and what’s new, even after quitting and relaunching.
Help Needed!
So help is definitely needed to really polish this application and get it to it’s first 1.0 release. Interface design help will be most welcome as it’s still learning in regards to Cocoa development. Any development help is welcome, along with code organization, best practices, etc. pointers you can send my way. Also check out the bugs and blueprints are on launchpad to see what needs to be done. An icon is also needed, but a friend is currently working on it so should be good.
Check it out
Check out the development over at the TweetTweet Launchpad project page. Also visit the TweetTweet page here to download beta releases and see screenshots.
Feel free to shoot me an email at jerome AT buttered-cat DOT com or find me on IRC freenode network as jfro to discuss this application and see about helping out.
