An attempt at writing a twitter client in C.

twtclt's Issues

Being able to select tweets, scroll following selection and view detailed info on tweets.

Basic row selection is available at the moment, but you can easily select an off-screen tweet. Also, a detailed view would be nice.

user-friendly UI for column and account management

Right now, the only way to add a new account is to hit "a" in the UI. No checks are performed, and the only way to delete an account is to manually remove its line from the config file — which will also render column indexes invalid.

The only way to set up columns is also by editing the config file, which, as of the monent, only consists of numbers without any comments.

To fix this, a dialog-based UI is necessary.

Tweet posting is not implemented

This client should have the ability to post new tweets as well as read them.

Being able to load user and mention timelines

Right now, the client can load and parse the home timeline, but not the user or mention timeline.

More natural horizontal scrolling

Right now, every column maintains its own "selected tweet id" field, and when the ← and → keys are pressed, the UI simply scrolls to that tweet, which is uncomfortable. The "select top and bottom" areas are also unintuitive.

The preferred method would be to follow the idea used in Tweetdeck, where the selected tweet is chosen as the closest to the right or left of your selection.

Better entity handling

Right now, all the client does with entities is replace text with the display text specified.

The ideal option would be to do the following:

• Cut links to their domains (#6 -> "github.com"), show list of all links on a key press.
• Remove image links entirely, probably indicate image tweets, show list of img links on a key press. Possible integration with image viewers?
