thanks, I have some ideas about performance improvements. though I suspect mauku will always be faster since witter is in python.

Don't know if this feedback is any use.

Thank you for doing this - I can see Witter becoming the most useful twitter app on maemo.
I would like to figure out how to show some busy indicator whilst it's working...just haven't yet. any pointers are welcome.
hitting tweet is still processed on the main thread. this does mean the ui locks, but should avoid duplicate tweets. if i figure out the busy indicator I'll probably put tweeting on a background thread.

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py

This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.
