Pino is a simple and fast X11 client for Twitter and Identi.ca. It is compiled to native code, which assures small size and speed, and thanks to use of Vala language it can perfectly integrate into your Gnome or XFCE desktop.

Pino 3.0.0-alpha1, local OAuth proxy for Pino 2.x
January 02 2011

Webkit was removed (not from dependencies yet). Currently Pino uses pure Gtk/Cairo to view statuses. Click on image below to see, how it looks like. Who wants to help me with packaging for Ubuntu - welcome to my email.

And one more thing. If you using Pino 2.x with Supertweet's proxy, please, visit this page and read, how to use it without connecting to their servers.

Another two things

Better late than never.

Now you can get older statuses by scrolling down a list. It works fine, except identica's search feed.

And I just finished conversation view (doesn't work correctly with twitter for some reason).

Conversation view

Two ideas
September 18 2010

I made some improvements (I hope so) in usability. First - dynamic context menu for statuses. Not buttons, like before. Just click right button and get a list of actions. This obvious feature not so simple to realize. I had to use JavaScript for this.

Context menu

Second idea - removing statusbar from the bottom of the window and using free space in the main menu. If you have your own vision of how it must look, you can write some comments.

Messages in menu bar

P.S. And, traditionally, sorry for my English.

First public version of Pino 0.3
September 14 2010

Hi there. Today I want to publish all sources of the third version of Pino. It's not a full release and not even an alpha version, but you can build it and try to run. Pino 0.3 is a completely new project. So, I put it on the new project hosting with it's own issue tracker. But don't send me issues before first alpha release, please :)

You can download sources from Mercurial repository:

hg clone http://bitbucket.org/troorl/pino3

To build it, type something like this:

cd pino3
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=tmp -DUBUNTU_ICONS=OFF -DENABLE_DEBUG=OFF && make
make install

And run it:

tmp/bin/pino

So, that's it. Thank you for your patience. And thanks to joeyb for his nice blog engine.
