    nice app! I still find myself missing Gravity on my N97, though.

    some suggested improvements:

    1) auto-fullscreen/hide menu bar (I'd say hiding the toolbar itslf would be advisable). with a corner key to bring it back like the browser.

    2) tap entry to bring up menu to reply, retweet, etc

    3) use swiping to change category (timeline to mention, etc)

    4) use kinetic "spring" when at top of page to reload/refresh (like Twitter for iPhone)

    5) improve/optimize kinetics

    Daniel, have any changes been made to provide a proper client name instead of API?

    ah yeah, forgot about that. Fix that, too. want to see 'posted by Witter N900.'

    Just discovered I can hide the bottom bar, too. Auto-hide the menu, toolbar and update bar by default makes navigation much smoother and takes advantage of the screen res. I'm also down 2-3 clicks on the vol in font size and enjoying it much better.

    you need to use the other authorization method, I forget what it's called (uauth or something?) to get the app name. It works fine.

    OAuth. Thank you for posting this.

    Daniel - can I request a feature for having the ability to modify the reported client through the configuration file?

    You could try sticking with Extras? if you have no tolerance for problems, then don't pick up software until it is in the stable repository. The whole point of providing a 3 tier repository system is that you can chose the amount of risk you're prepared to live with.

    To get to downgrade to the stable version, fire up xterm and issue these commands: (you need rootsh installed)
    Code:
    root
    apt-get install witter=0.3.4-8
    After that you have the version that is in extras, and it works very well.

    interesting idea, I guess I could play around and see what I can do with this

    double tap an entry does exactly this...? single tap versus scroll start can be difficult for maemo to differentiate so not ideal to map anything to single tap

    erm... enable gestures.. it does exactly this

    interesting idea, but I don't get any signal for end of scrolling (at least I've not found one), if you can tell me which signal to hook onto, I'll gladly do so

    The kinetics is provided by hildon.Panable area. whilst in theory I can try setting some different options, I have zero input into it's optimization. Though it would be great if pymaemo want to optimize all the built in UI stuff for better performance.

    Twitter doesn't let you do this. The reason witter only shows up when using Oauth is that this is the only way twitter allows an app to show as it's own name, eg the oauth is tied to my app via a key specific to witter. They used to allow any client to simply specify source=whatever, but switched that off ages ago(long before witter was created)
