tweetgo.net - a Twitter web app for the N900
 
Hi All,

I created a twitter web app for my own use, as none of the current twitter offerings on the N900 fit my needs. (Both witter and Mauku are great, just not quite what I wanted) Since it came together quite nicely, I decided to deploy it for public use.

http://www.tweetgo.net

I decided not to write a native application since I'm lazy and don't know much c/c++. The benefit of this is that there is nothing to install and that this should work on Androids, iPhones, and anything else that has a decent web browser. However, I've built this specifically for my N900 and haven't even tested it on an iPhone.

A couple ideas drove the development...
- make it as fast as possible
- make it simple
- make it touch friendly
- portrait "enabled" (use Midori to check this out... however, overall it seems to work better in the default browser)
- make it look nice

Usage is quite simple...
- Tap a tweet to favorite/reply/retweet.
- Navigate between your "home" timeline, mentions, and DMs across the top
- Sign out with the "x" in the top right


As a warning: this is not stable or complete or ready for widespread use. I'm making this available in hope that it can be useful, but can't promise any support of that it will even really work :)

But, let me know if you have any issues or suggestions!

Nice! I like it, good job. Only things I'd add would be a button to see the sent DMs.

Edit: how do I write a DM?

Good idea. I have a couple other pretty big features to add too:
- Your Tweets
- Things you retweeted
- Lists
- A person's favorites
- Search/trends/etc
- (and now) Sent DMs

Can't at this point. Will add to the todo list :)

Do let me know if there are any specific features that would help you. No promises, but I would love to make this as useful as possible!

I was thinking of needs not relating to twitter ;) But I'll keep it in mind if i think of anything.
