The QML would be easy way to do it. There is simple twitter example in qt-docs. It could be easily extended to proper client.

Thank you for taking the time and sharing this information with us.
It was indeed very helpful and insightful while
being straight forward to the point.

The overall look ‘n feel has to be nice. This means the kinetic scrolling must be fluent for the timeline view.

@Ian Monroe
I’ve actually looked into QML already (the Twitter QML demo is so cool ), but I need to learn QML better first in order to actually use it in something like this.

But I really like QML. I really think it is the future – we create the UI in QML and any backend logic is done in QtScript or C++. Mapping QML to C++ code seems also very easy to do.

Yeah I know – I should just start implementing this in some language

A dedicated monitor? Your usecase is so different then mine. I just causally watch identi.ca’s (most of the KDE world moved in-mass to identi.ca last year… it has some nice features that Twitter doesn’t) and actually get annoyed if a client tries to split up the feed too much.

Rather then plain C++ you could do it with QML. At Camp KDE there was a guy from Nokia’s R&D lab in Brazil (INdT) and he gave a presentation on QML. It’s a declarative language for doing QGraphicsView stuff. Then you use QtScript to provide actual functionality, so it integrates well into C++. So far you mostly work with primitives, I asked about if this was turning into a full-on toolkit and it sounded like that decision hadn’t been made yet.

I’ve also heard that Tweetie is good. Never used it though. But let’s see – something nice and simple to start with and then we can think of draft tweets and more

Now let’s see… where would I find some time to start with this. Sigh.

I like Tweetie on my iPod touch, the best feature about it is that it has great offline caching of tweets and can load more tweets so you can load back in time until you catch up fully. I also like Birdhouse which is a “drafts manager” for tweets, I like writing a draft tweet, save it and come back later to finish it – having support for multiple drafts would be nice.

Stop talking so non-committally about it and start coding .
