So, alternatives? I have Twitter on the side next to my browser. Using Twitter in a separate window doesn't work because Twitter for the web isn't mobile friendly and mobile.twitter.com doesn't refresh if the window isn't in focus.

Tweeten (a Tweetdeck clone) is my preferred one, but other people like Tweetbot, and Twitteriffic just kickstarted a new Mac app that people seem to like too. (typing that sentence out made me realize just how ridiculous Twitter app names really are :-) )

I'm working on a desktop client for Twitter, FB, Slack etc. It's pretty snappy and weighs only 90 KB (!) https://eul.im https://eul.im Twitter support is coming later this month.

  Still no source code up? Do you intend for this to be open source or are you trying to push this commercially?
  - amedvednikov 9y ago
    It will be open sourced eventually, it's not ready yet.

      You can release source code without it being open sourced.

  This looks fascinating! Thanks! It could replace Slack desktop app for me, which is a bloated piece of sh*t.

  Hey, I signed up for the mailing list a few weeks ago (before .27, i remember wanting to wait until it was native), but I didn't get an email about .27. Did you send one, or did it get lost somewhere on the way? Thanks! Looking forward to checking it out now :)
  - amedvednikov 9y ago
    Hi, .27 is out tomorrow (there were delays). I'll send an email after the release.

  Is there a way to become a beta tester of future versions?

  This looks great. Does it support Slack threads?
  - amedvednikov 9y ago
    It will. In March.

  I'm calling bullshit on you, your shenanigans and all of the blind idiots. 1. I can't download past versions and there's no current version to download till tomorrow. Why... 2. You have no github and hn history besides spamming the shit of eul and I can't trust no proprietary third party shit. 4. Do you really think you can open source something that could bite your ass legally (whatsapp)? Will you partially open source all of it minus whatsapp or what? If so say it instead of "ye ye I will open source it". 5. Do you really think anyone not stupid believes you can support so much shit and being native and 90 KB (version 0.27 coming tomorrow) when the past versions downloaded a GB?

      That's being used as a bugtracker, I would hardly call it 'having a github'.

    Ok, I'll bite. After checking out the guy and his project, it seems like he's really truly passionate about making minimal, fast software. I love it: I do a similar thing myself (I made the smallest, fastest CSS framework.) I can tell it in his comments and the effort he's put into this. It's a totally unique project, and as far as I can google, it's the only one of its kind. In a world of massive, bloated apps that eat gigs of RAM for breakfast it's a refreshing change. The audience for something this minimal is fairly niche, and HN probably has the densest concentration of people for it. He's been mentioning it not very often, and only when it's relevant, which seems fair to me. He's also clearly a very talented developer and put a ton of work into it. I have a feeling he'd like to make some money off it. I've been in a similar position myself, years ago: not sure whether to open-source or not because of the perpetual doubt in the back of your mind. I don't blame him: he's getting $11/month off Patreon. The past versions thing doesn't matter IMO - after checking the Github, he says they don't work anymore. And the previous versions downloaded _half_ a gigabyte, apparently now it only downloads a few megabytes. Personally, the biggest thing that concerns me is the source: I'd have to see the source before I used it for anything. Alex, if you'd like to talk about the world of FOSS, fast, minimal software, open-sourcing, and how to make money, feel free to send me an email - it's in my profile :)

Tweetbot. Now that I’m forced on Windows at work, my twitter activity has gone way down simply because nothing compares to Tweetbot.
