And, this is the only comment I'm gonna say regarding this. Are you afraid
in using a blind product? Are you afraid to admit you're blind? I feel our
blindness is what makes us who we are. OK, maybe that isn't the point, but
is it really not?
OK, enough said. I'm outta here on that note.
Chris.

Not necessarily. It might be a clever name if the application has no visual
component, for like what the developer said: if
you're tweeting at work and don't want anyone to see or something like that.
To me, it doesn't matter what it's called. If it
works, I'll try it. If I don't like it, I can always go back to Yorufukuru.

One little piece of advise though. If you really, really want to have your
product used by blind and sighted alike, the name
"blind tweet" maybe isn't the best name in history. Everyone will assume
that it's a client for blind people only and we will
have yet another reinvention of the wheel.

Hello
Blindtweet will have global keystrokes and it will run in background. I
hope to finish the first release version by the end
of the summer

Yes, agreed. Perhaps, if someone were to create the twitter application I
describe below (how about calling it tweeter?),
there could be a keystroke that was global, that when pressed would pop up a
dialog in which you could compose a tweet.
I do find sometimes that the ability to read tweets from anywhere is,
while great, distracting
Perhaps another keystroke could be added that popped up a dialog with the
timeline

Very well said. The only thing I'd like to add is that the thing I like
best about qwitter is that it runs in the
background;
you can just use it where-ever you are on the computer without having to
alt-tab to it first. So, if you're writing a
document, or playing a game for example, you can just check tweets
without losing your place in whatever program you were
in.
Apart from that particular convenience, Yorufukuru on the mac does meet
my needs quite adequately.
Anyway, what is described below sounds perfect to me, but if qwitter
were to be ported to the mac somehow, I'd only use
it
over what is already available because of its ability to just run in the
background. I hope that makes some kind of
sense.

I see what you're saying. The only reason I wanted to see a port of
qwitter was simply because it provides features that most of the other
twitter clients do not, or if they provide those features they are
either more hidden away or in the wrong place.
It would be great if someone would write a twitter client that had 4
columns lined up; timeline, direct messages, mentions, and sent. Then
you could add more columns for specific people who you are interested
in, so only there tweets showed up. Then a simple tweet box. The ability
to follow people, unfollow people, and a button to go to their twitter
profile. You could customise the time before new tweets are received.
That's it; that, in my oppinion, would be the perfect twitter client.
Many of the other clients (including qwitter itself) have a lot of
unnecessary features. For example, not to diss qwitter in any way, but
who needs to do a bing search from a twitter client? If I wanted audio
tweets, I would use one of the services already available... and my
twitter client definetly doesn't need a stopwatch build in.
Just my thoughts.

Hi,
Look, i don't want to diss your product, Jonathan but i must ask the
list this: Do we really need a blind specific
Twitter
client? Wasn't it so that we chose the Mac platform to get away from
blind specific solutions and be more standard, thus
being able to more easily communicate with sighted people on equal
terms? I can understand the need for one or more blind
specific solutions in the PC world, but here? Am i naive, stupid, living
on another planet?

Hello,
there are some problems to develop a ported version of Qwitter:
* keystroke management is very different in OSX than Windows... We
have to rewrite all modules about keyboard
* window dialog management is very different in OSX.
* there are few diferences in IO file system for OSX and Windows
well, I have a good news... I'm developing Blindtweet for OSX. It is a
twitter client for OSX managed using keystrokes
and
it uses speech capabilityes to show the twiter information.
I hope finish it for september and it will be in the Mac app store
