Notices

I would like to post about a (yet-another) twitter client that I have written for n810. It uses SVG based GUI framework - Inkface.

You can see the demo video here

(Can someone please tell how can I embed the flash video inline with this post, the [HTML] tags are off for me I guess)

You can try out the client yourself:

In the Maemo Application Manager, add following Catalog:

Name: Altcanvas
Web Address: http://repo.altcanvas.com
Distribution: testing
Components: main

Refresh the application list. You should see 'twitter-inkface' app in the list. All the dependencies will be automatically pulled from the repo.

In case you hit any problem with the repository (because it's my non-standard implementation of a debian repo ), you can download following four .deb files and install them "dpkg -i *.deb".

libaltsvg,inkface-python, inklib, twitter-inkface.

With this milestone, inkface libraries reach a v0.1.2. To know more about Inkface project, visit the project page.

Feedback is appreciated!!!

(I know I should have used maemo-extras, instead of private repo. Maybe next time)

got it, installed it, opened it, nothing opened. notin'. wazzzzup?

I'm looking for a better Twitter app than Mauku which allows Retweets from within the app.

Does twitter-inkface let you do Retweets without having to start a web browser?

Thanks

If this app doesn't do it for you - I'd recommend you to check out http://www.tweetgo.net
It's a twtter webapp originally written for the N900 but I use it on my N810 and it looks and works beautifully.

I have it setup as an icon in personal launcher "browser --url...blah blah" so it's basically a very light-weight 'app' for me.

Thanks, Silver, "tweetgo" works great on my N800. One question though, if I am "following" someone, how do I send a "tweet" to them using "tweetgo" (which button) on my N800, I know how to do it on "twitter".?
