I’ve submitted Neu 1.0.2 to the Mac application store… here’s hoping that the review process for updates is a little bit quicker than it was for the first version…
I’ve just released a new beta version of Ambientweet.
For those who don’t know, Ambientweet is a minimalist twitter client that I’m working on.
Unlike most clients, Ambientweet shows just one tweet at a time. This is a deliberate design decision, as it is intended to just be left running in the background, as a way of watching your twitter stream pass by. Showing just one tweet allows for a minimal user interface. This, in turn, means that the text can be bigger and there’s no need for extraneous clutter like toolbars or buttons whilst you watch the twitter world go by.
You can use Ambientweet to post, reply and re-tweet, so it’s perfectly adequate for adding to your stream and responding to what you read. What it doesn’t include is lots of complicated functionality for viewing profiles, following people, managing lists and accounts, and so on. The Twitter website is great at that stuff, so why try to replicate it?
I’m pleased to announce that after a rather lengthy review, Neu is now available on the Mac Application store.
Once again I’m planning on attending NSConference 2011, which is happening in March this year.
It’s a great conference, and I’d highly recommend it if you are a Mac OS X or iOS developer.
You can find out more information here.
Elegant Chaos would like to wish you all a fantastic Christmas.
Unless, of course, you don’t celebrate Christmas, in which case have a fantastic not-Christmas.
Unless of course, you recognise Christmas, but simply don’t celebrate it, because that misses the point, in which case, have an appropriately sober Christmas… look, just have a good few days why don’t you, for some appropriate value of good!
Oh, and we do hope that you have a great New Year and a brilliant 2011.
Unless of course you don’t follow the Julian calendar, in which case…
:)
