@planetf1

Tweego doesn' t need additions for others social networks or others apps like 4square. Tweego, just like its name ,concerns twitter and anything else. Every application has one target. If we complicate things we wont have the desirable result.

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

@anapospastos @planetf1, right now I think the most important things are addition of a few more core twitter functions, such as DM, and follow/unfollow. I'm ok with not having image upload via the client right now coz the upload function from the gallery is quite decent.

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

I agree with you!

I´m very happy using Pixelpipe services to upload picures to Twitpic.

Let´s focus on make TweeGo a very complete twitter client for N900.

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

totally agreed.. let's focus on the core functions, which can be considered as a "Must Have"..

another function that i wish can be part of TweeGo is autologin.

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Ok fair enough. Hope the other suggestions were useful. I do very much like the slick UI and will be interested to see the app develop.

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

'
Yup.. I'd like to see everything added on once the client is "properly usable":D

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Hello, I'll try to answer most of the questions, if I forgot your question, please ask again :D

Line edits:
Well about the greek letters I really don't know why it's not working, we didn't change the any input method, but we'll check it out.

And the virtual keyboard, we always had problem with it, dont really know why, but I believe that is a Qt issue about the qgraphics proxy widget. There may exist a way to solve it, but it'll need some recode in the line edit class.

Tweet via TweeGo:
We need to use the oauth for it, like witter does, we already register the name (it will be TweeGo Mobile, someone already took TweeGo :()

Auto-refresh:
Like I said, it will auto-refresh automatically, but the user wouldn't be able to set the time, to we decided to remove it. For the next versions, the user will be able to set time for auto-refresh or use only the manual refresh.

Settings on the top bar:
That's a great idea, we'll talk to the designer about it.

Time issues:
Some people had this issues. Are you using 12h or 24h format?

Meego Ready:
The application is made in Qt so it will work on meego for sure.

Ip Location:
Like I said, we'll put the GPS location option. There's also an location method based on the nearest cellphone tower, but, obviously, a sim card is required.

Others microblogging services:
Well, we create the app for Twitter, so when we finish all the features related to twitter, why not add others services right?

TweetPhoto, TwitPic, ... :
For now only TwitPic, but later we'll add more.


So that's it, if you have another question, you can either post here or send for us!

Let me just ask two questions:
1. Do you like click on the links or on the buttons (like the last version)?
2. We are considering remove the number of tweets, followers and following from the top bar, and to see this statistics, you'll can click in that area, among othres stuff. What do think of it?

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Personally, I would like the top bar to be the standard Maemo bar for non-fullscreen apps so I can see my cell phone signal strength so I can tell why its not updating (slow or no connection) and what time it is /etc... Maybe just include that stuff in the top status?

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

*Clicking on the links is better than buttons. It can be easier as it is now. One way is when we click once on a link to appear a button next to it. If you tap the button the webpage opens.

*Statistics about following followers etc are important information for me. If you can implement it with something like a tab to switch between other useful infos it would be good.

Also, users have to be active links to their profile. I mean if you tap on their name or avatar.

Tapping on our avatar picture would may drive us to our twitter profile page. Changing of the photo maybe would be possible by adding an option under settings or something like this.

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

The reason I would like the statistics about followers and who you're following to be links to that information is because if you want to look for one of your friends, currently you have to trawl through the timeline until you find a post they've made. If the following statistic linked to a list of who you're following it would be much easier.

I do agree with being able to tap someone's name and being taken to their profile, and being able to change your avatar.

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

I actually want to see lists feature at least somewhere,because witter doesn't have it either.

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

I just tried chir.ps and audio tweets! Its not working from microb browser so an idea landed to me! If you can implement audio tweets to tweego will be awesome:))

Re: TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Both give
0:0 1 jan 1st
as time stamp. Even after switching 12/24 in configure and restarting Tweego.
I'm on +1 Brussels time.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Hi,
the same timestamp issues here.
Tweet time is always 0:0 1 jan 1st.
My timezone is GMT+2
Timeformat 24hour.

Another issue:
Can the auto-capitalization for the username
entry box be turned off?.
And turn of the dictionary support for the password field?
(I don't like to see my passwords as text suggestion in other
textfields).

Other notes:
The logoff confirmation dialog asks "Are you sure you want to quit?"
The same text is used by the "exit" confirmation dialog.
Btw I would prefer to not ask the user for confirmation after he
pressed the exit button.

nicolai

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

You should use
QLocale::setDefault(QLocale::English);
and
QDateTime tweetDate = QLocale().toDateTime(createdAt,"ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss yyyy");
to parse the timestring.

Twitter uses english time format
and QDateTime::fromString() uses the default system
timeformat (device locale).

Nicolai

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

tweego!

x)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

one more issue.. when u update the timeline and then scroll down to fetch more tweets, a whole lotta tweets disappear!! they're not retrieved!!

also, can you pls add the new RT in the next version!

:)

thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

I've just noticed that it appears to be posting a tweet twice. Don't know if anyone else has notiiced this. It doesn't show it on the timeline, but if you go into the profile on the internet it will be there twice.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

how do you use this, I see no prefs or settings in tweetgo

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

No.
The developer have to do this.
That is, he has to change the code.
Than the timeline should show the
correct time.

regards
Nicolai

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Any updates?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

as for me, still can't change mauku for tweego as virtual keyboard doesn't work =(

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

is the autorefresh working? for me it isnt.
i have a request. witter has an email style notification for replies and DM's. id like that feature in tweego.
a configurible audio and vibration notification would also be nice

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

when is tweego going to be moved from basic auth to oAuth, considering this: http://techcrunch.com/2010/08/13/oauthpocalypse/

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

And tweego is now not logging in.. it says error 400..

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

having the same error... cannot login to tweego.
now im using the web based...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

That's coz tweego is not OAuthified! It used regular auth. And yesterday twitter pulled the plug for regular auth. So we need the tweego update with OAuth login.

Tweego team, when's it coming out?? Really looking forward to it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Yeah, and it's not only Tweego thats affected.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/01/h...-authenticati/

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Tweego needs an update

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Yup. The lack of a decent Twitter app is the only reason I keep looking at maybe swapping my N900 out for something else. I was happy to switch to the N900 as I was sure a client would be forthcoming, but I'm at the point where 9months without Twitter on my phone is long enough (and the website doesn't cut it).

Don't get me wrong I appreciate the hard work the devs put into these projects, I just wish I had the coding knowledge to make my own apps sometimes.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

But the developers should have known it long enough...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

The best twitter app I've run on my N900?

Tweetdeck for Android under nitdroid.

Not really viable (esp as no 3G, awkward HW, and maemo is better) but it is a nice app..

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

I think tweetgo is by far the best app for twitter, and is optimised for N900.
Have you ever tried it?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

I did when it first came out but it didn't have enough features to keep it installed. I've been following the progress and just when I was about to try it again various issues were reported - however nothing seems to have happened since then which is why I'm worried for ever getting anything decent for the N900.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

+1

The developers have had a lot of notice on this. I guess there must be an update in the pipeline?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Problem is that Twitter have royally screwed up their implementation of OAuth especially for open source clients. Ars has a good write up of the mess :

http://arstechnica.com/security/guid...auth-wrong.ars

No wonder there's not been any updates.....

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Umm... Tweetgo(.net), while being quite awesome, is a web based twitter client. Personally, I use Hahlo if i'm using the browser, and tweetgo only when I want a lighter client.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Hello guys, yeah we knew about the basic authentication shutdown since june but we were busy implementing the new interface and the new timeline that we postpone the oauth implementation.

Using oauth we need to change the way how you use TweeGo, you won't need to insert your user and password in the app every time you want to login but you will insert your user and password in twitter's website and receive a token, a code that you will put in the app and the same token will be used every time that the app retrieve information from Twiiter(like tweets, DM's etc). The main reason for this is that the user will only insert his information in twitter's website and not in a strange app where it can be stolen.

The problem is that the TweeGo's designer want to change the interface AGAIN :/ At least they will put all the features that everybody want like DM, favorite, search and saved searchs, lists, custom settings, themes etc. They said today that they want to use something like the N900 desktop, with multiple screens, so the user will be able to move it around.

Sooo, we are waiting for them to give us the interface so we can start implementing the oauth. I know that oauth wont need a beautiful interface to work, but for me, I don't really feel like implementing something knowing that it may change.

Sorry guys, we know how much you like using TweeGo but we'll wait for the designer to give us the new interface before we get our hands at it again.

The source code will remain at gitorious, if someone wants to contribute to the app. I also recently create a new branch where I'll do some experiments with the oauth to try accelerate the process.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

Thanks! Any idea on when the new update should be out? And if it does support everything you mentioned, it'll be my default twitter app! :D

Re: [ANNOUNCE] TwitterBox is now TweeGo!
 

That's excellent news. Since I first used Maemo 5's panoramic desktop, I've wanted a Twitter client that cycled through timeline, mention, direct message, search, etc. screens in the same "swipe left and right" manner. I look forward to future TweeGo releases that might bring that dream to life.

At the same time, I must admit to disappointment that implementing OAuth isn't a higher priority. I understand your decision; it makes sense in relation to the long term goals of the project. As a selfish end-user though, I hate being left to suffer Witter in the meantime.
