Update: KatTwitTwo….

The twitter client I am working on, KatTwitTwo, is now kind of functional:

Over the next couple of days Iwill be tidying up the interface, implementing the search function, and (hopefully) changing the code so that when for example you click the “All friends” button a second time the new tweets are added at the top rather than the bottom of the edit box.  Further development will then tidy up the interface and display of tweets, before implementing the “Save a Conversation” functionality.

I am willing to let a small number of users trial the app at this stage, in return for input as to functions they would like to see implemented.  Please contact me if you are interested.

Bit of a mouthful, hey? Currently underdevelopment, KatTwitTwo will be a free, open-source, twitter client for Windows, built in C++ using the Qt framework.  I will be looking for beta testers for this fairly soon (but am not setting any dates as yet).

Why KatTwitTwo? I am planning a series of three applications, and initially started develpment on a another, which naturally is One. Twit, because it is a twitter app, and Kat because it is from Katugas. So – hopefully – a logical mouthful.

Do we need another Twitter client? There are many twitter clients available, so why build another? There is one function which I have not been able to find in existing clients, and hope to be able to incorporate it soon.  That is the ability to save a selection of tweets as a conversation.  This will not be implemented in the first version, but I intend to allow the user to select tweets from all friends, mentions, and DMs, and save them, initially in a text file, and later in a mySQL database.

As I am a beginner with C++, I would appreciate ome assistance in getting my code optimised (remember this is a free and open source project).
