streamie's Issues

Did not work

Hy, its rarely fresh alpha version.
I try to use suse 11.3 linux with actual firefox from repository. I authorize the app. I see the authorize on my account. But the "Sign in with Twitter" is still present, and i will redirected still to twitter to authorize :(
The i try my nokia E65 handy, who is the reason to use your software. There i get the same Problem. I can see an error message "Cant find token" followed by cryptic stuff.

Favicon seems to not work anymore in Firefox 4

The favicon is stuck on yellow, even when I scroll to the top. I've tried refreshing the page but I haven't been able to get it to work again.

Opera: Can't type '(', '"', or '!'

In the Opera browser (tested 11 and 12), it is impossible to type the open parenthesis, quotation mark, and exclamation point characters.

node sometimes crashes

log output:

The icon replacement image lacks the direct message icon

Better error message after failed status update

Require.js parsing errors

Accessing gh-pages/public/index.html (e.g. cramforce.streamie.org) was throwing JS errors.
Chrome 7.0.503.0 dev: http://screencast.com/t/YmU3NTNiYTAt
FF 3.6.6: http://screencast.com/t/M2YxNDVlMDM

Fixed in FF with http://github.com/jfsiii/streamie/commit/a55e6f3cadb42016db4c800b445aaf491b6eac7c

Fixed in Chrome with http://github.com/jfsiii/streamie/commit/ed16e3fc0b64e7546d0c834e8b99cb9bf436feb0 and http://github.com/jfsiii/streamie/commit/088a3a09cb45a9883fe92f0de5bb528272fe1f92

However, those fixes led to other issues and, while I think I'm doing the right thing, I don't want to create a stream of tickets based on a flawed approach. Will wait for this issue to be confirmed/fixed before reporting others.

To display client (a.k.a source) for tweets

It would be really nice

siteStreamOAuthToken

What is siteStreamOAuthToken in config.sample.json?

Friend list into brackets

Streamie doesn't shows friend list if after bracket I directly type mention mark (@), for example, "This is my tweet. (@arvislacis)" - then friend list isn't showing when typing @arvislacis.

Unable to use Streamie

Can anybody help me ?

Use images instead of UTF8 characters on windows

Or use a different font
... or SVG?

@/Mentions tab

I just started using streamie,everything works perfect except the @ tab/column,when i click it nothing happens,even when i refresh the tab same thing. I even tried it on another computer"both running google chrome",one is CR-48 laptop,no matter what i do,the @/mention tab won't show up,yet i can see the same tweets on the "show all"tab,is it me/a bug? any and all help would be appreciated

Sound notification

Sound notifications in my Opera and Chrome browser doesn't work properly - it's just a calm tick not a beautiful sound signal.

German umlaute (äöü) and other special chars ° don't display right

On some tweets, like eg. https://twitter.com/Konstanz_Wetter/status/68284262981447680 , the Umlauts and other special chars aren't displayed correctly; please see screenshot on http://www.diigo.com/item/image/ytlp/iwq8

I'm using Google Chrome but have also seen this with Firefox 4 - both on Linux.

update http-proxy to 0.3.0 or update install instructions

hi!

i noticed you are using node-http-proxy in your project. we just updated the api slightly (v0.3.0) and you should probably update or specify the correct install version in your instructions.

 npm install [email protected] 

(this is the older version which will work with your code)

if you want to update, it should just be the matter of changing a couple of lines here: http://github.com/cramforce/streamie/blob/master/lib/server.js#L198

with something like:

 var proxy = new httpProxy.HttpProxy(req, res);
 proxy.proxyRequest(9000, 'localhost', req, res);

let me know if you need any help

Borken navbar icons on Windows

On Windows (tested with Chrome and Firefox), the navigation icon for settings does "direct messages", the icon for "write a tweet" does "open settings" and the icon for "direct messages" is missing (thus, you cannot write a tweet ;) ).

Sorry, got no time to investigate further. This is probably related to generating images if the glyphs are not in the font.

Add gap marker when tweets are missing

" gets re-encoded

Some people post with some client that uses " instead of " and streamie annoyingly html-encodes the already html-ified stuff.

Shows retweet button for direct messages and it retweets some other tweet!

The app shows retweet button for direct messages and when clicked it asks for confirmation. When 'yes' is clicked it does retweet but some other tweet! ( i haven't checked the code yet, so i asssume it retweets some tweet using some id available.) Interestingly, it doesn't come up in the streamie timeline but can be seen on twitter timeline.

i18n : tooltips on "reply actions icons" not translated

When hoovering a tweet, four icons enable to "retweet", "reply", "quote", and "star" a tweet. A tooltip is displayed on each icon. But their label is not internationalized, whatever language is chosen.

ability to cancel reply and close text input field

If I press reply and than decide not to reply, I cannot cancel the reply and close the text input field. The only way I found yet to get rid of the input field is to close streamie and open the page again.
It would be nice if I could hide the reply input field e.g. by pressing the reply button again.

Streamie.org not working?

Hi, i was trying out streamie.org and i got an error when i try to authenticate your app:
error: "error :{"statusCode":401,"data":"Failed to validate oauth signature and token"}"

Am i doing anything wrong?

Best.

Do smarter "prefill"

When Streamie loads up or comes back awake (e.g. user opened laptop again) not blindly load the last 20 tweets but rather try to load as many as possible/neccessary. API limits should be much less of a problem because we dont need the REST-reading API much.

Still maintained?

If not, it would be great to archive the repo so that it readily appears as no longer maintained in GitHub searches.

Opera: tweet button is not rotated properly

The opera -o-transform: rotate(-90deg); is missing from the rule csstransforms form#mainstatus .button in streamie.less.css.

Side note: It's also missing the standard transform: rotate(-90deg).

Weird symbols in the Chrome 12

Please take a look at http://twitpic.com/4vr8il
I observed that both on WinXP and Win7

small issue on streamie.org with FF

I seem to be seeing an html comment when viewing the streamie.org site with FF 3.6

twitter oauth registration

when registering at dev.twitter.com...

is the application a browser app or a desktop app? tried browser app but it requires a Callback URL, which I do not know.

desktop does not work either, gives me an error messaging saying "Desktop applications only support the oauth_callback value 'oob'"
