Changelog

  • Fixed many small bugs and lot of stuff.
  • Server rewritten in Node.js + Express so very lightweight.
  • Live conversation view: new tweets that are relevant to the conversation will now slide into the conversation view.
  • Has Logout / Change Account button for re-authentication.
  • Has HTTPS thanks to Heroku.
  • Can post status updates to Facebook.
  • New image upload system. Can now post images to pic.twitter.com. Just drag and drop the images into the text box and send. User interface inspired from @manatsawin’s Twitica Desktop.
  • Has the image preview feature, as suggested by @tannce and @icez. (Disabled by default).
  • Allows retweeting a retweet when the retweeter is protected, as reported by @PalmZenith.
  • When counting tweet text, all URLs will count as 20-21 characters because they will be shortened by t.co. Also each image upload will also count as 21 characters. And URL shorteners are now deprecated and gone.
  • Search feature is a more reliable, it now uses OAuth.
  • Displays “Twitter is over capacity” when Twitter is over capacity.
  • Lists timeline will now include retweets.
  • Can now follow/unfollow people/lists in-app.

  • When opening a new window, the new window’s size will match the size of the old window.
  • Too long words will be broken into lines using word-wrap: break-word.
  • More (or less :P) mobile compatibility. Better touch handling in iOS.
