my bad on the first app comment.
I'll take suggestions on the UI, but given I'm not certain I'd be able to implement them. It would seem a little premature to ask others to come up with designs.

Just want to say, nice work
I seem to have bumped into a issue with 0.1.0-4 where it fails to save user name and password on exit. This is on a N800/N810 btw.

On the scrolling side, i am not much fan of kinetic scrolling, but it may work better on witter vs mauku, as witter do not have a double-tap action on entries. That is, if you get so far as to implement drag to scroll on the N810 version at all. Optionally i guess you could just do a wider scroll bar, so that its easier to use with fingers (see modest as an example).
There is a small issue with the long-tap menu, where even tho it shows a focued menu, one have to tap the menu twice before it shows any sub-menus.

And some of the text flows under the scroll bar, rather then shift the word down to the next line.
Oh, and a feature request. It would be nice if a long-tap menu option would be to show the timeline for the specific user, as sometimes its nice to dig back and see what kind of entries a user have made lately.

how about a layout similar to this? It's a quick mock up but do you think it would be beneficial to make it a little more visually pleasing?
I'm very conscious of making the most of the screen real estate.

would be useful when one scroll thru the list using the dpad anyways.
though as I said on a previous post, I need to spend some time to ge thte source into SCM, and properly arranged for diablo/fremantle because at the moment I'm focusing on fremantle and it's not easy ot keep things in step.

ok, I don't know if auto-builder is asleep, or just busy. but it's taking it's time...
In theory witter 0.1.1-1 is going into extras-devel
It contains reply_to support.
if a tweet is in reply to another, it will load the other and put it in small text beneath the time stamp. Unless the replied to tweet is from a private feed. For some reason even if you are authorised to see the original tweet, the API for getting a specific single tweet blocks access.
if you tap-hold on someone you can select reply_to which a) fills their username in the text entry field, and sets a flag with the tweet it. if you submit a tweet it will get marked as a reply to that selected tweet. if you change your mind, just deleting the username should do the trick.
there is a ReTweet option too...but it's not working, all it does is copy the tweet text to the text entry, at that point I realised that included all the formatting that I'd added to the tweet. so I need to think longer on this one
error notifications are now hildon 'notes' instead of dialogs
text entry is now hildon.Entry
buttons are now hildon buttons (but I've haven't done anything to work around styling not being applied right)
I'll probably keep this version in extras-devel for a while to sort a few more big things out. But I thought I'd let people know it's coming...assuming auto builder eventually does it's thing

this switches the root url from twitter to identi.ca
At the moment this is just so that you (or anyone with an identi.ca account) can check that it does basically work with the switched urls. assuming that bit is as simple as that, then I'll think more about how to integrate this, and the multiple account request into something a bit more structured.
