Tweetbot for Mac - Public Alpha

Re: Tweetbot for Mac - Public Alpha
#42I love tweetbot for ios and it seems to be the same, minus touch-based actions for os x. Is there a new rule with stylized mac apps ignore the double tap to minimize the window action?
By "double tap" did you mean double clicking on the title bar? Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but I believe that feature is gone in Mountain Lion (the option is no longer there in General prefs).
Really? I've grown used to that. Why would that be removed?

#43If you're looking for an alternative OS X client, I suggest YoruFukurou. Lots of options, filters, multiple accounts, works on 10.6 and feels great.
Does it do multiple columns, too? With TweetDeck I tend to have lots of columns - all tweets, only best friends, dms, facebook and a running search. Would like to get rid of TweetDeck because it is the only Air application I still have.
Doesn't do columns, but does do multiple tabs. I was reluctant to switch to tabs from columns too, but it's my preferred Mac client now.
Also supports a "mini" tweet view which makes it work more like an email client. http://yfrog.com/oerabxhp

Re: Tweetbot for Mac - Public Alpha
#45This is absolutely worth getting for mac. I'm getting far fewer crashes than the official twitter client, a much nicer look, smoother interactions, and more information faster. The killer feature for me is the ability to see the conversation around and replies to one tweet - this is extremely useful if you see one tweet between two people you follow but want to know the context around it, or if you want to see how ot…
You really get multiple crashes in a day with the official twitter client???
I (note: I'm not the gp) definitely do. Any time I have an unread notification, if I open up the official Twitter app and try to switch to that tab/page, it'll crash. It'll do so maybe 3 or 4 times in a row, before letting me see that page and mark that tweet as read.
It's pretty ridiculous since this has been happening for months on end now, and it didn't use to happen with the initial release. Twitter's OS X dev department just plain sucks - which is especially trying given that ML integrates Twitter into the OS. They need to step their game up ASAP - and definitely allow 3rd party devs and apps into the twitter ecosystem, because theirs just are simply not up to scratch.

TweetDeck is now a Chrome-hosted app. I haven't missed any feature changes between it and the old AIR app.
Interesting, never heard about that. So I suppose I can install it from the Chrome app store and remove the air version?

No, they just moved it to the Dock preference pane.

YoruFukurou is great and I've been using it for more than a year but I already use Tweetbot for iOS on my iPhone and iPad so switching to Tweetbot for Mac makes perfect sense, especially if you're like me and obsess over synchronization and UI consistency.

I am beginning to see some advantages. Still struggling with search (is there no "or" operator?), but I'll try it out for a while.
Re: Tweetbot for Mac - Public Alpha
#50I wonder whether fear of a Twitter crackdown on third-party clients played any role in the timing of this. Having an app, even an alpha app, in users' hands would increase the outcry if Twitter were to move against third-party clients like Tweetbot. (Obviously, I mean an outcry in addition to the userbase for the polished iOS client.) This is purely speculative, I admit.
I will say this: I consider myself to be a Tweetbot user, not necessarily a Twitter user. If Twitter cuts Tweetbot off, and Tweetbot integrates with some other Twitter-like service, I will go there. Of course, this is exactly the scenario Twitter fears, but I with this increasing saber-rattling over cracking down on third-party clients I wonder if Twitter is going to cause the thing that they're trying to prevent.
But isn't twitter all about following other people? Don't they have to migrate to the new service first?
