Development Projects – KatTwitTwo – archive locally.

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).
