Flutter is a Twitter client, vaguely for the GNOME desktop. It shows you your friends feed, lets you post new messages, and… that's it.
I didn't like the other Twitter clients I tried, and suspected that a reasonable client shouldn't take more than a few hundred lines of code. It turns out I was right: Flutter is currently only 340 lines of Haskell, plus a Glade UI description. (This compares favourably to gTwitter, which is 3,546 lines of C♯, and Twitux, which is 5,367 lines of C.)¹
(The slight duplication of effort makes me sad, but not as sad as writing C. And then, writing C doesn't make me as sad as parsing XML with regular expressions. Besides, it's a nice name.)
Here, soon. Promise.
I need an icon! Ideas that came to mind included a blurred wing,
and a fl
ligature in a stylized font (reminiscent of the
Twitter logo). Drop me a line if you
want to sling one my way.
