Vision statement
Original vision statement. Now outdated and updated.
What is it?
Twitter is a web application which shows tweet feeds from people you follow in chronological order.
Twipler is* an open source web application which shows tweet feeds from people you follow in a theme-able importance then chronological order. *(when it’s completed)
Hmm... sounds interesting. Tell me more.
Well I assume that you’re already familiar with Twitter or Tweetdeck or one of hundreds of different ways of accessing twitter. Twipler is another way of doing just that.
It will be theme-able. A “theme developer” can create their own look and feel, as well as defining the tweaks to “how it works”. Publicly available themes will be freely selectable and users can select how their twitter looks and works.
It will be open source. A “theme developer” not happy with what’s tweaks and tools are available to them can submit modifications to the project or even spin off their own version.
Ok, I want it!
Cool your jets! This is only a vision statement.
The long term project plan is roughly looking like;
Phase 1 - implement a vanilla version of twitter.
Phase 2 - introduce simple theme-ing and control.
Phase 3 - apathy or world domination
Volunteering.
For the 10% of you who didn’t just jump ship, I’m looking for help. For now, please show your support and follow the project.
