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
