What's New
Version 2.5.1:
Fixed a bug where setting a new tweet for Tweet Marker was failing.
The fact that the short-description here mentions that it has a "strong, efficient workflow" strikes me as being a bit odd. I wasn't aware that Twitter really had a workflow involved. O_o It's a nice client, though.
So many twitter clients out there. But Syrinx has become my regular client & I've even donated money. I have no interest in the software, just a happy Mac camper. I love the customizable interface that allows to me adjust color, font size, etc so easily. All of my software should be written this well. This does what it claims, but allows me to be an individual, rare for free software. Props to the author.
Great app! Just discovered it...so many Twitter apps have stopped being supported or don't work with Snow Leopard. This does work with SL, and has a great interface. Plus, it's free! Thanks.
This has actually a lot of potential, I find it pretty good. Has some usability details to fix but I think it's nothing that big.
Suggestions:
1- The part where you write text, should resize when you are not writing anything on it. to save space :)
2- The "Direct Message" Icon over the user Icon should be different, and in other color, ( many people use black and white pictures, and a black and white envelope Icon tends to mix with the picture )
3- How can I change the "link" color from blue ?
Overall great, free, and I will be using this for a while :)
Thanks!
PS: if I can help with the development somehow, just let me know.
I've only just begun trying this app out, but is it *supposed* to open all links in Firefox instead of the OS default browser (in my case Safari 4)? This is pretty messed up behaviour...
I can't say how it happened, but I've discovered that Firefox somehow managed to become the default browser even though I never use it so I retract my comment above. :)
Hey guys, this is an addendum to my last feedback.
The app does work fine on my G5 tower, haven't seen the auto-logout issue i had on my PG G4. However, i'm not sure if its a bug, but for one reason or another, after a tweet is posted, the typing box becomes inactive. So if im doing a string of tweets, i have to re-click into the box to begin tying again. It's incredibly annoying, hopefully something that can be rectified.
The only other thing I was curious was about image support, and what you guys were going to implement on that front. hyperlink implementation is pretty basic as well.
but hey it works...with a little more chutzpa, this could be the standard
thx
