New Personal Twitter Client
Written on May 1, 2009, by Milot Shala.

I have a Twitter account for some time now but I haven’t used it much because there were times that I forgot that the service exists and that I have an account there. I’ve seen several twitter clients out there but I wanted something smoother and smaller to fit in my desktop in order that I can just leave it there and post whenever I see it. I know that this is very simple one but I wanted to also create something cool with QHttp class so twitter was in my mind and I wrote a simple software to fit my needs for very clean and simple desktop twitter client.

I named it Twithor (after Marvel’s Fictional Character THOR) and it opens in a small window which doesn’t bother you while working and you can place it on your desktop, but since it is in the early stage of development I am not posting the source code yet because before releasing the source code I must do some code refactoring to avoid WTFs. I will also port it to Windows and of course it will be translated in to my native Albanian language.

Below is screenshot (taken under Linux) that I made and here is the message posted to twitter.

Update: Ported Twithor to Windows, thanks to Qt framework!

    Hey Milot,

    Looks neat! I like the skin. Is this linux, you’re running?

    Yep, I’m running Linux, but the skin is not the GNOME theme (I have a default Ubuntu 9.04 skin) but it is a skin that I wrote it myself in CSS and used inside the QWidgets that I use in Twithor, it will look the same also in Windows and Mac OSX. I will release the source code ASAP and you can read it.

    Dude, use some shorter sentences, for a start. Otherwise, you do a great work. Thanks!

    Hello Milot!

    I wonder if the source code of Twithor is already available in some url. Is it?

    I appreciate if you let me know. Thanks!
