hawitter[hawɪtə] - A simple twitter client

• hackageDB: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hawitter

It is not hatwitter!

0.4 (beta)

changes:

• added popup menu (post/quit) to tray icon.
• OAuth support
• partial implementation of TLM (+#hash and -#hash)
• unload old tweets off the memory. you can now use hawitter for prolonged time.
• the remaining number of requests is shown in the status bar.

known issues:

• you have to press F5 (or wait) to apply TLM. And once tweets are fetched by +#hash, they won't disappear.
• do NOT use +#hash for hashtags with a lot of tweets
• sometimes same tweets appear more than once
• it seems that hawitter don't work on Mac OS X: http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/bft3k/hatwitter_a_gtk_twitter_client_for_haskell/c0mkg4a
  • I don't have a Mac, so I can't confirm it.
  • Patches are welcome!

0.3 (beta)

Bug fix release. TL modifier is yet to be implemented.

Changes:

• Added tray icon. Click it to hide/show the window.
• Closing the window only hides it. To terminate hawitter, quit from the menu (or press Ctrl+Q).
• Tweets made from hawitter immediately appears on the screen.
• Code cleanup.

Known issues:

• Due to message markup code bug, following symptoms may occur:
  • message body does not appear
  • wrong coloring
  • client name contains tags

0.2 (alpha)

screenshot:

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.
• All tweets are accumulated on memory.

todo:

• implement TL modifier
• do something about RT and QT
• expand shortened URLs
• code documentation
• show task tray icon
• OAuth

not-todo:

• list creation
• public TL processing (gardenhose,etc)
• geolocation
