Worse though is that once the extra text is removed you cannot add text because the program has already decided that the tweet is too long.

Also any idea when it will support profile pictures and proper kinetic scrolling (but plus on Mauku).

And on a side note. can we N800/810 users get a FB and TWitter widget? Is it that hard?


Thanks for the alternative app and keep up the good work.
Sorry, but the n8*0 version is a gazillion miles behind the n900 version, although it should have some form of kinetic scrolling the latest version available for it.
It's a royal pain to attempt to maintain two versions, and I simply have no motivation to bother. The source is available in garage, and if anyone wants to look at the diffs with the fremantle version they are welcome to bring it up to speed with that version. But it already takes up many hours of my limited free time to develop for n900, its basically not fun or interesting to then backport that work to a device I don't use any more.

So in terms of getting profile pictures, the answer for n8*0 is probably never.
But then the answer for n900 is also possibly never, because I'm still not convinced it is worth the enormous effort to do.

Check out Witter, a twitter client for N900
http://danielwould.wordpress.com/witter

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.
