twinput's Issues

Mockup form factor of app for iOS/Android mobile form factor

Create keyboard shortcuts for plugin

Enable keyboard shortcuts for actions (e.g. Apple-S to shorten).

Wrap mobile form factor with PhoneGap

Put in app store and android market place

Fun textarea colorization

textBackGroundColorChanges: true

A setting that will have the textarea change color as the user types..... from subtle green to red say..... with gradients!

Allow the user to use an authenticated URL shortener

If I login to bit.ly I can use my ajxn.it domain. Make this so.

Show snippets popup

Show a popup with default snippets that you can put into a tweet.

E.g.

• quote: "" - @user
• hat tip: "/ht @user"

Cache follower username/real name information locally

Keep the follower username/real name pairs in a local storage cache for quick lookup for the "auto lookup name" mode.

Allow the user to configure their URL shortener

E.g. bit.ly vs. google vs. twitter itself

Implement file upload functionality

Allow a user to upload a file (e.g. a photo or video) via twitpic and other services.

Have a user settings store

Save users settings in local storage

Implement onlyShrinkWhenNeeded

If the "onlyShrinkWhenNeeded" setting is true, only shrink URLs when the length of the tweet is getting long.

The use cases are:

• Some users like to see a full descriptive URL if they can, so want this true
• Some users use the tracking ability of a bit.ly, so want this false

Allow the user to configure their file upload service

E.g. twitpic, yfrog, ...

Cache your recent tweets in local storage

Speed. speed. speed. When the app loads it can load from there and then an update "thread" can get the latest.

Mockup form factor of app for tablet form factor (iPad)

Need to account for keyboard popup effect.

Implement useLocation

A checkbox setting for location. When checked make sure to request geolocation access and use it when tweeting.

Implement tweetWithLocation

This action will add another button that will enable the user to click on it instead of the standard tweet and it will tweet AND add the location (so it one time enables location)

Configure all of the default settings

Make sure the plugin has all of the default settings configured.

Allow embedders to use our hosted plugin

If users use our hosted plugin, then all of the settings will be shared no matter what site you are on because:

• The same localStorage can be found
• We can store in the cloud too.

Implement autoShrinkURLs

If this option is set, automatically run the shrinkURLs function as the user pastes/types them in.

Implement Character Palette

If the palette setting is enabled, the user can run the action (via button in UI strip or keyboard shortcut if enabled) to popup a palette of cool characters. e.g. ♺

Add shrinkURLs function

The function will take the input and shrink any http:// URLs.

To begin with, use bit.ly only.

Send tweets to Facebook

There are plenty of services that do this. The issue is that there are two modes:

1. "Put this on both #fb" I hate seeing #fb
2. "Automatically put everything on both"

Twitter now has metadata, so it would be cool to add:
type: personal, business, both

and then from that have it import to FB (and other services such as linkedin)

Implement shrinkWords

The shrinkWords action takes the text and does what it can to shrink it for you. E.g. s/and/&/g.

Store current draft in local storage

Store the current typed tweet and settings in local storage so it survives user error (e.g. hitting reload by mistake)

Wrap mobile form factor in webOS appinfo.json

:)

Show recent tweets in popup

Show the recent tweets popup view

Show the character count correctly for a tweet

As long as the setting is true (e.g. make sure to add a default setting and check for it) show the character count information.

This involves:

• Limit to 140 characters
• Light grey early on (first chars)
• Get darker as more chars are typed
• Turn yellow when 50 chars left and get more orange
• Turn red when negative

Rich show location with Google Maps

If useLocation is set, allow the user to pop into a Google Maps popup to choose their location.

Allow the configuration of twinput via data- attributes

<textarea class="twitter" data-autoShrinkURLs data-useLocation="false">

Implement expandTypingArea

If expandTypingArea is setup, make the input nice and large when the user is typing in there.

Show location

If useLocation is setup, show the location that is being used and allow the user to maybe change the scope?

Show how to load the plugin asynchronously

E.g. using RequireJS

Take the body of the textarea and send it to Twitter

Take the Twitter JS API and implement sendTweetToTwitter()
