I have the version from extras testing, and would like to say I love it. It's a little bit slower than mauku in my experience, and I've had it lock up a couple of times (and crash out 'not responding'). But the increased functionality is awsome and makes for a much better experience.

The thing that seems to annoy it is when I tweet or reply and I hit 'tweet' just as it was doing something else (like auto refresh). The result is the screen freezes (and I keep hitting 'tweet' cos I'm an impatient little beggar). Then I discover that the tweet has in fact gone through when it appears on tweetdeck on another pc. 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.

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

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.

that is fantastic. I can't believe I didn't see it, possibly because I didn't think of it as a 'progress' indicator more of a busy indicator.
I've tried it, it works. and will be in the next update along with oauth support.

Thanks again

0.2.1-4 is now in extras-devel, for full details see:
http://danielwould.wordpress.com/witter

but basically the main thing is OAuth support, and a busy indicator (thanks again mwerle for pointing me in the right direction on that)

So no new 'function', no better UI etc etc. But I've wanted to do OAuth from the begining, so I'm happy now it's done.

No worries - I spent ages today trying to find the little busy spinner for my app after I added libconic support. In the process I found this thread before I found the progress indicator doc. Like you, I was searching for 'spinner', 'busy indicator', etc.

I had read that doc a while back but obviously had not associated the "progress indicator" as the little busy spinner... ah well, live and learn!

well it makes me feel a little less stupid if I'm not the only one that searched for some time without finding it. guess I know what to blog about this weekend :-)

0.2.1-6 now in extras-devel has a fix for launching urls, which was giving some portion of people trouble before (but not all people weirdly)
I'm inclined to push this one up to extras-testing assuming no one has any obvious problems in the next few hours.

promted to extras testing, mainly because the browser openning changes seem to have fixed opening urls for people
