Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

i think im gonna have to give up on this till whenever all problems are sorted its doing my head in doing everything im being told and nothing is happening. back to the n97 i go and in the drawer goes the n900 :(

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

nice app! I still find myself missing Gravity on my N97, though.

some suggested improvements:

1) auto-fullscreen/hide menu bar (I'd say hiding the toolbar itslf would be advisable). with a corner key to bring it back like the browser.

2) tap entry to bring up menu to reply, retweet, etc

3) use swiping to change category (timeline to mention, etc)

4) use kinetic "spring" when at top of page to reload/refresh (like Twitter for iPhone)

5) improve/optimize kinetics

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

Daniel, have any changes been made to provide a proper client name instead of API?

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

ah yeah, forgot about that. Fix that, too. want to see 'posted by Witter N900.' :)

Just discovered I can hide the bottom bar, too. Auto-hide the menu, toolbar and update bar by default makes navigation much smoother and takes advantage of the screen res. I'm also down 2-3 clicks on the vol in font size and enjoying it much better.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

you need to use the other authorization method, I forget what it's called (uauth or something?) to get the app name. It works fine.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

OAuth. Thank you for posting this.

Daniel - can I request a feature for having the ability to modify the reported client through the configuration file?

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

You could try sticking with Extras? if you have no tolerance for problems, then don't pick up software until it is in the stable repository. The whole point of providing a 3 tier repository system is that you can chose the amount of risk you're prepared to live with.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

To get to downgrade to the stable version, fire up xterm and issue these commands: (you need rootsh installed)
After that you have the version that is in extras, and it works very well.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

interesting idea, I guess I could play around and see what I can do with this
double tap an entry does exactly this...? single tap versus scroll start can be difficult for maemo to differentiate so not ideal to map anything to single tap
erm... enable gestures.. it does exactly this
interesting idea, but I don't get any signal for end of scrolling (at least I've not found one), if you can tell me which signal to hook onto, I'll gladly do so
The kinetics is provided by hildon.Panable area. whilst in theory I can try setting some different options, I have zero input into it's optimization. Though it would be great if pymaemo want to optimize all the built in UI stuff for better performance.

Re: witter - a python twitter client
 

Twitter doesn't let you do this. The reason witter only shows up when using Oauth is that this is the only way twitter allows an app to show as it's own name, eg the oauth is tied to my app via a key specific to witter. They used to allow any client to simply specify source=whatever, but switched that off ages ago(long before witter was created)
