[Announce] StatusNet Client
 

It's in a fairly early stage of development at the moment but its reached a stage at which it covers most of my own needs so I thought I’d make a release for others to play with.

Once I’ve extended it a little further I plan on submitting it to both Apps For Meego and the general Nokia Ovi Store, but for now you can download the Debian package directly at the end of this post.

One thing to note is that you will need to restart your phone before events will start to appear (this is due to a limitation in the way the SyncFW framework loads plugins).

The client is written mostly in Python, with a little C++ for integrating with the events synchronisation framework. It makes use of the StatusNet module written for the command line StatusNet client IdentiCurse and the python-eventfeed module written by Thomas Perl.

Features

• OAuth login for identi.ca.
• Standard login for any other StatusNet services.
• Shows messages in the events feed.
• Fetches (and caches) user avatars.
• Displays messages from the events feed in the browser when clicked.
• Automatically fetches new messages in the events feed based on your events feed preferences.
• Can manually fetch new messages via the events feed ‘Refresh’ button.

Not yet implemented

• Posting messages.
• Displaying messages locally within the application.
• Displaying rich content (messages with multimedia attachments)
