Development for Twittastic has been discontinued. Twittastic was always meant to be a tool for gathering feedback on certain technology innovations I heavily depended on. It has outlived it's usefulness, and I will officially no longer develop or support it. However since it is my main Twitter client I will keep it working for personal reasons.

Why it rocks

Twittastic, is a Twitter client meant to do it better for most of the users. It’s meant to be simple to use, without sacrificing features.

The interface is a cross between a classic IM application and the Twitter webpage itself. Some of the things it does right now are seen below. Slide through to see more.

UI

Drag and drop

Screenshots

Scroll into the past

File uploads

Right click

Short URLs

Emoticons

Shut up

Notable features

  • Simple interface, that works like the web page
  • Drag and drop image uploads to www.twitpic.com
  • Take screenshots of parts of your screen and upload. Double click required.
  • Capture your webcam and send straight to Twitpic
  • Infinite scrolling into past messages using a database. You can leave it running overnight.
  • Drag and drop file uploads straight into www.drop.io
  • One click short URLs. Reads what you have in copied and pastes the result. Services including www.urlborg.com, www.go2.me and www.is.gd are supported out of the box
  • Text based emoticons as seen here
  • Ability to shut up for 30' minutes. So you can brainstorm undistracted.

What is a Bleeder

At this point I’m announcing the Bleeder programme, meaning that it cuts like paper.

  • Alpha means that a program isn’t feature complete yet, and is also very unstable.
  • Beta means that it’s feature complete.

Bleeder means Beta BUT it’s also not feature complete.

While I keep developing features, the most mature of them are moved into the bleeder programme. This means that the overall software is Beta with respect to stability, but Alpha with respect to features.

Right now I’m on Revision 126 and pushing out updates every other day. Many are bug fixes, some are new features, minor or major.
