background

Twitux didn't feel right to me. That was motivation to develop hawitter. And it will not be full-fledged client. But it will have powerful, timeline modifier.

TL modifier

Basic idea is to locally filter tweets.

for example:

  • temporarily hide some tweets by users you follow.
  • hide/show tweets with certain hashtags.
  • hide/show tweets from users you're not following.
  • show reply to certain users.
installation

If you're lucky, 'cabal install hawitter' will suffice.

random notes

importatnt:

  • This is alpha (or pre-alpha...) version. Do not expect much from this.
  • HTTP basic authentication is used.
  • updates TL every minute
  • It uses twitter API. Manual refresh(F5) should be under 150-60=90 times per hour.
