=======
Twittia is a slim Twitter client for OS X written in mostly JavaScript.
It doesn't implement much of Twitters functionality, only the things *I*
care for. Therefore it is _small_ (84 KB) and _fast_.
_Keep it simple, stupid!_ Is the mantra, therefore there will not by much more

_"Keep it simple, stupid!"_ Is the mantra, therefore there will not by much more
functionality as it is now. But you're welcome to fork and extend it.

Nice to know
------------
There was a original Twittia 1 which was written in Ruby-Cocoa, it was
quite ok back then, but the code was a mess. And then along came
Tweetie and I lost the desire to write my own Twitter client, because
it was so much further then twittia and looked nicer and so on.
But now Tweetie wasn't update for a really long time, and I really
wanted to see retweets in my stream so I decided to rip out the look
from Twittia 1 and implement it in a new much slimmer version.
And because Twitter offers a JSON API and Twittias rendering Engine is
just a simple WebKit WebView I implemented the core functionality in
JavaScript and am very happy with it.
