The short swipe allows you to quickly retweet and the long swipe is for replying.

In Tweetbot, the right swipe gesture is double. Speaking of gestures, both apps have left/right swipe actions as well as a tap action on tweet. They both have (automatic) dark modes, you can customize the size of image previews, text size, avatar and display names. Tweetbot does this from the start.īoth apps provide advanced customization, but again, they differ with specific features. Go to Settings first and bring it to the bottom, especially if you are on an iPhone 6 Plus. It's still one of the most enjoyable user interface experiences I've ever had.īy default, the Twitterrific toolbar is at the top. The best part is that the animation depends on the way you moved it and the direction. This was last year, before it made its way through apps like Slack and now even Twitterrific in some way.īasically, when you're viewing an image, just move your finger in any direction to dismiss it. This might make me sound like a UI fanatic, but the first time I really considered buying Tweetbot was when a friend showed me the move-to-dismiss-image gesture. Just slide your finger on any of the Muffles and you can turn them into a “Silent” state. Oh, and they also have the Mute function. If you come across a muffled tweet but from a Twitter account, you might want to take a look. If you want, just tap on it to see the tweet, or just continue. When a new tweet appears that contains the buffered keyword, Twitterrific will not expand it. Just select Muffles in the sidebar and type in the keyword, that's it. Twitterrific has a feature called “Muffle”. Therefore, you can mute football-related keywords only during the football season. Two years from now? Who knows.Tweetbot allows you to do something that you can mute for a specific period (days/weeks/month). The long and short of it is that, for now, most developers are willing to work within the new rules.

We took a look at Twitter’s strategy yesterday, talking about why it would change the rules for developers and how it will affect them. The development of Tweetbot will continue as well, but the question for all of these clients is a matter of when, not if, they will have to make hard decisions about the future of their products. These comments follow up similar statements from client developers Tapbots a couple of days ago. But after releasing the already in-progress update, he says, “we’ll have to look at how many new users we get before deciding how much of a future it has.”

“We’ve been working on an update for the past six months and are happy that we’re going to be able to ship that work,” Hockenberry said, adding that the company had been concerned that Twitter might have simply shut off API access entirely for third-party developers. But he was also pragmatic about the long-term future. Iconfactory’s Craig Hockenberry actually mentioned that the app would continue on to Macworld’s Lex Friedman earlier today. Maheux also put to rest any fears that it would cease developing its client in the face of user caps, saying “…we want to assure our loyal users that we’ll be continuing to develop for Twitter for the foreseeable future.” There were concerns that this new version might end up on the cutting room floor prior to Twitter’s announcement, but after reviewing the new restrictions and speaking with the team at Twitter, we’re pleased to report that our development plans remain unchanged. The Iconfactory’s Gedeon Maheux says that the next major update of Twitterrific will not be canned, but that it will be tweaked to comply with the new instructions.įor the past several months, we’ve been working on a major update to Twitterrific that we’re very excited about. The v 1.1 rules introduced stricter guidelines for displaying tweets and caps on the maximum amount of users any client can have. The folks over at The Iconfactory have posted up a notice today that, even in the face of more restrictive Twitter API rules, the next version of its beloved client Twitterrific will launch as planned.
