Tweetbot for Mac

  • When finishing adding a new account, its prefs should be selected.
  • Key bindings in 3rd party services prefs
  • I know it's against the Tapbots aesthetic, but use system-standard windows/widgets in the prefs
  • Animation when switching between accounts in the prefs window. Right now I can't tell I'm looking at anything different.
  • I feel like Apple has starting overriding this in the system defaults, but I still use three-fingered swiping for back/forward, so some sort of gesture would be nice to get into tweet details and to back out to the timeline
  • Clicking and dragging off the active side-tab (whatever you guys are calling those) switches to the inactive graphic
  • First time selecting the timeline/list switcher for an account shows no lists
  • Being able to make the font smaller is great, but it should let me make the window narrower, then, too
  • Clicking anywhere in a tweet shouldn't take me to tweet details; it should highlight it and let me select the text
  • There should be a way (cmd-click, probably) to de-highlight a tweet
  • Dismissing the context menu the first time brings up the context menu again.
  • Should assume that regardless of text format (plain/rich) in the clipboard that I want to paste plain. cmd-v should always work if there's text in the clipboard.
  • Would be nice if timeline windows were magnetic so they could snap to each other
  • Needs keyboard shortcuts for 'Go to user' and next/prev account
    • Maybe make that the default action on Enter when searching a term that starts with @. Still feels a more cumbersome than Echofon's cmd-u, though
  • Scrolling a timeline on a user profile should move the profile out of the way (I think the iPad app does this)
  • The weird non-nested submenu-by-replacement thing for selecting mute duration is weird
  • Pull to refresh (in lists, which don't stream) ends up scrolled all the way to the top if the new batch of incoming tweets is longer than the window can fit
  • Lists should auto-refresh at some interval
  • [bug] Most recently selected timeline/list in any window gets switched to when switching accounts from any other window
    1. View main timeline
    2. Open a new window, switch to a list
    3. From the first window, switch to another account
    4. Switch back to the first account. It will show the list selected in the second window.
  • Really excessive row spacing in the timeline/list selector. They're not touch targets!
  • Remember window positions, especially for second windows relative to first
  • Page up/page down don't work
  • Counting the seconds up is weird. Maybe 'Less than a minute ago' for everything < 60s
  • I guess drafts don't actually get saved anywhere yet?
  • Way to RT from another account? (opt-click the RT icon, maybe?)
  • keyboard shortcut to switch to the most recently viewed list timeline. (I'm thinking of my cmd-1/cmd-4 workflow in Echofon, but that might be made less useful by multiple timeline windows)
  • Additional timeline windows for each account probably don't need the sidebar icons, or at least there should be a way to retract them (especially if, as I suggested above, there were a way to magnetically snap them together)
  • Focus in search box when cmd-5-ing
  • Hovering over a long location or URL in a user profile should show the rest in a tooltip
  • Clicking a location should do something (I'm sure you know this)
  • When page-up does work (when=something to do with focus, probably), it scrolls the timeline to the top, but still shows one as unread. Have to use the mouse to push it past the top to mark them all as read.
  • I know you have Notification Center support, but Growl would be nice, too. (Isn't Growl working on a single API that uses one but falls back to the other or something?)
  • Double-clicking a tweet when Tweetbot isn't the active app means the first click prints it to the front and the second click selects the tweet. Being able to double-click while the app is inactive would be nice.
  • Is the arrow that anchors the New Tweet window to a tweet being replied to the only way to tell that conversation metadata will be attached? What if I rip the New Tweet window away to move it but still want it to be a reply?
    • Wait, nope. Even if it has the arrow, it doesn't necessarily have the metadata. (E.g. when replying to just the retweeter of a retweet, deleting the original poster.)
  • Inline 'find user' workflow is weird. (vague because I don't feel like thinking atm)
    • also, it crashes Tweetbot
  • Clicking to select then clicking again to view details confuses what a double-click should be. (I.e., clicking then clicking again is now effectively the same as a very slow double-click, which doesn't make sense.)
    • Actually, it seems like you're trying to emulate a double-click with a click-then-click-again, so when it receives an actually double-click event, it only selects the tweet.
  • Sending a tweet (cmd-enter) with a hashtag autocomplete box still open causes the box to stick around till the mouse is clicked. (The same probably happens with username autocompletes, but I haven't tested it.)
  • shft-cmd-{ and } should not be used for aligning L and R. Heck, that shouldn't be in the format menu at all. I would use those shortcuts for switching which account to send from in the New Tweet window. (Is that in my muscle memory from another client, maybe?)
  • Actions for my own tweets in the timeline: delete. Others?
  • At some point, it stops properly counting how many characters over 140 a tweet is. (It starts counting words‽)
  • A menu is not what's expected when clicking a button. (In this case, the Close button in the compose window)
  • The "Please enable wifi" location thing is a button. Clicking it doesn't do anything, like, for example, turn on wifi.
  • Hover over a shortened link to show the expanded link (like Echofon)
  • Weird resize/grey thing at the bottom when plugging into a bigger monitor
  • Should be able to command-tab to the New Tweet window if it's open

  • Can close the last window, leaving no way to reopen one

  • No way to follow a list?
  • Doesn't autodetect 'd username …' as a DM
