My new twitter client...
By glazou on Monday 8 June 2009, 16:22 - Mozilla - Permalink
...should reach first preview release next week. Recent changes:
- I originally only implemented Conversations (an iPhone-like presentation of received and sent direct messages) but Molly Holzschlag convinced me last week that Direct Messages, Sent Messages and Conversations were all three needed. Done...
- Send Later is done... I just love it. I can compose twits or DMs when I am offline, for any of my twitter or identica accounts, and send them as soon as I am back online
- It's now possible to change application's accounts settings (password and refresh rate)
- Preferences panel for locale, network settings and a few other things
- Follow/Stop following button in User Info tabs
- twitpics displayed inline, working on pikchur ; working on a manager so that list can be extended by the user.
- ~60 types of shortened URLs are now expanded inline ; working on a manager so that list can be extended by the user.
- Images attached to a twit or DM are viewable in an attachment(s) area ; theoritically, I can attach more than one twitpic to a twit, no problem ; it's just not coded yet. I'll also work on FileTwt integration as soon as their API is released.
- Search in Twits is done. Super fast thanks to SQLite, XUL and CSS.

This sounds great. But could you please also implement support for identi.ca and Laconica? identi.ca is based on Laconica, an open source/open data microblogging service that anyone can install on their own server. Laconica has a nearly 100% Twitter-compatible API, so it's truly simple to add support for it.
More info about Laconica: http://laconi.ca/

There's not that many clients for Laconica yet, so if you implement support for it you might get quite a few users, without much more effort.
Oh, man, I'm an idiot. I thought I'd read trough your post well enough before I posted, but now I saw that you already mentioned identi.ca. That's great! Very much looking forward to a new client!
(please also add it to the apps list: http://laconi.ca/trac/wiki/Apps)
PS: "Remember me on this blog" did not work for me.
