Hi Rahul,

2011/4/4 Rahul Sundaram metherid@gmail.com

I got annoyed with the slow development of Pino for the 0.3 rewrite (only a single developer and identi.ca support is broken) and Gwibber development seems apparently stagnated too and I heard the upstream development has switched platforms as well. Looking for replacement, I bumped into hotot which I have been using for a while and I have packaged and built it for for Rawhide and Fedora 15

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/hotot-0.9.5-3.20110331hg.fc15,pywebk...

Hotot is under active development and somewhere near the alpha state, the UI is pretty nice and functional. While I am not advocating a swap of defaults yet, I would ask desktop SIG folks to take a look. I would like to hear feedback from users as well.

It looks nice, but somehow fails to access twitter. That's after I pasted the PIN the twitter website gave me:

[Req] {"type":"GET","url":" https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token?oauth_consumer_key=SxxxQ&oau... ","data":{}} [Req] {"type":"GET","url":" https://api.twitter.com/oauth/access_token?oauth_consumer_key=SxxxQ&oaut... ","data":{}} ** Message: console message: undefined @0: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: on_twitterapi_error

I installed pywebkitgtk-1.1.8-1.fc15.i686 and hotot-0.9.5-3.20110331hg.fc15.noarch on F-14.

The chrome webapplication works though. Looks cool!

I've used hotot off and on, and have to say that my opinion runs hot and cold. In its favor, the ui (timeline in particular) is fairly nicely designed, and its strongest features basically covers all the features that are weakest in gwibber - native retweet support, managing follows/unfollows, profile info, etc.. However, gwibber wins hands-down when it comes to managing multiple accounts and streams (even if you just limit consideration to twitter and identi.ca services). Because of the number of accounts I manage (personal and work-related), gwibber remains my primary choice.
