Mah Tweets

Updated Wiki: Home

Update

For the foreseeable future, this is a deadend project. A long time ago, Twitter disabled XMPP/IM communications, and with the recent announcement of cutting SMS push, looks like they won't be enabling XMPP anytime soon.
Since that was the primary drawcard of MahTweets, I'll call it dead until significant changes happen at Twitter, or another microblogging service arises with a decent API (I'm looking at you plurk, just shameful!)

Welcome

Mah Tweets is a Twitter client with a difference.

In addition to using the regular Twitter API, it uses the Jabber protocol to get instant notifications from Twitter. This also means it's capable of using Twitter's Keyword Tracking notification services.

Mah Tweets is a project by Paul Jenkins

Requirements

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 or 3.5
Twitter Account
Jabber/XMPP-compliant IM Account (such as Gmail / Gtalk)

OSX Port Requests (Help Wanted!)

A number of people have requested an OSX Port of MahTweets, this is technically feasable, however we require collaberation with someone with a certain skill set to make this happen.

Give us a shout if you have any of the below:
- Experience with C# (preferred), Java, or other C-Style OOP Languages
- Experience with, or willing to learn Cocoa# or Gtk#
- Understanding of Threading and Eventing models.

We're in the process of restructuring MahTweet's internal code to facilitate multiple different types of interfaces, so effectively you'd have to implement just the UI specific code (eg: clicking a Send button = call MahTweets.Send(message);) and do any adaptations to suit any implementation-specific quirks.

aeoth — Sun, 04 May 2008 06:17:15 GMT

Use WPF/WCF to create a screensaver of tweets.

William Hughes says (5:01 PM):
Need to make MahTweets have a 'TweetSaver'
William Hughes says (5:01 PM):
fullscreen WPF thingy
Paul says (5:01 PM):
hrm...
Paul says (5:01 PM):
thats...not such a bad idea
William Hughes says (5:01 PM):
as Tweets come in they float in, then drift backwards...
Paul says (5:02 PM):
I'm completely buggered today though (haircut + train trip = erk)...so I'll forget about it by morning
Paul says (5:02 PM):
well, that and two assignments due on friday
William Hughes says (5:02 PM):
Also, for TweetSaver, need to make it use the existing stuff - so inter-process stffs
William Hughes says (5:02 PM):
stuff, too
William Hughes says (5:03 PM):
hint: WCF, with TCP Endpoints...
William Hughes says (5:03 PM):
your Tweeter and Tweet stuff is serializable...
William Hughes says (5:03 PM):
if MahTweets added a WCF Endpoint...
Paul says (5:03 PM):
tcp? why not namedpipes?
William Hughes says (5:04 PM):
*shrug*
William Hughes says (5:04 PM):
whatever
Paul says (5:05 PM):
namedpipes is faster for IPC, I think
William Hughes says (5:05 PM):
ok, so, that...
William Hughes says (5:05 PM):
but, yeah...
William Hughes says (5:06 PM):
the WCF stuff will do what you want
Paul says (5:06 PM):
(Snarl.NET uses NamedPipes, heh)

Reverted TweetCollection back to ObservableCollection after much thrashing about trying to resolve Remove issues for expired items. TweetCollection now uses an internal hashtable for faster non-position lookups and keeps its original WPF bindable charms.

CREATED ISSUE: RateLimit API calls for DMs / Replies.

willhughes — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:08:11 GMT

Shouldn't check for replies/DMs on each tab click - should only check the first time, and Provide a button to force it if the user wants.

CREATED FEATURE: Favourites

willhughes — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:06:35 GMT

Tab with Favourites pulled from API.

Star button on any Tweets to allow you to favorite it.

CREATED FEATURE: Links Tab

willhughes — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:04:33 GMT

Anything with a link in it should be pushed to an additional Links tab, for followup later.

UPDATED RELEASE: MahTweets Alpha 5

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 01:40:39 GMT

MahTweets Alpha 5... created for the moment to let tasks/issues be assigned.

CREATED FEATURE: Overlay Reply-To Avatar

willhughes — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 01:14:35 GMT

When a tweet is in reply to someone, overlay that someone's avatar (at about 1/4 size).

CREATED FEATURE: "Digest" Toasts

willhughes — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:32:14 GMT

Option to Combine Toasts so that it shows something along the lines of:
"11 new tweets, 3 replies, 4 mentions, 1 direct".

replies = tweettext.Startswith("@myusername")
mentions = !tweettext.Startswith("@myusername") && tweettext.contains("@myusername")
dm = tweettype.dm

Show this only once every 30-60 seconds.
