t2u

It was day before yesterday (01) this idea hit my mind. The basic I wanted to do was to code something. Develop an app, a small one but I wandered with no proper idea. I had two things in mind. One to develop a facebook app and the other a twitter app. Ok so what should the app be about? How it should serve the user? I didn't know. All I wanted to do was to code. That's how it has always worked for me specially when it comes to 1's and 0's stuff. And most of the time it left me with satisfaction and I hope that it will be the case this time also.

Back to the topic. So I wanted to anchor at one side either fb or twitter. I checked my gtalk contact list and found my friend Hiranya online. "Hey I really need to code, this is kinda urgent and do you have any idea on what O should code?" that's all I asked him and surprisingly he replied "ok go and develop a twitter client for mobile". So that just set the anchor. Thanks to Hiranya.


Next I composed a mail, look in the gtalk and fb contact lists for known tweeps who tweet from mobile and send them. Well, I'm not imitating Linus Torvalds :-) So following goes my mail,

Guys & gal,

I'm about to develop (or trying to let's say :-) ) a new twitter
client for mobile. So I want to know your ideas on how it should be.
How it should differ from the existing ones. So please let me know
your valuable comments.

Note: Perhaps this idea will limit only to this mail :-) I try my best
to proceed.

Thanks

I got a bunch of  good ideas some I've no idea at all on how to implement them right now. We'll see. So special thanks goes to them. I googled on how to develop a twitter app and got a basic idea. Since this is for mobile I though to use J2ME. Most importantly this is going to be open source :-)

I needed a name for the project. The first came to mind was "twit2u". ok I used it for the project name in Netbeans. Today I googled for "twit2u" and found a twitter account  with the very same name. So I changed it to "t2u" and here is the sourceforge project https://sourceforge.net/projects/t2u/ So far I've committed some code there already. The approach is to develop a basic client with basic functionality like tweet, timeline, retweet, dm etc. Then go for the more specific feature requests.

So basically that's it for now. Expect more news on the project in future.
