Who’s a pretty birdy

Thursday, 12th November 2009Short URL

Just like Hahlo 4.1 he’s not quite finished, but I thought I’d show him off anyway. I’ve managed to go two and half years without creating a bird mascot/icon for Hahlo, and I had one planned for the release of v4, but just couldn’t get it to a point where I was happy with it. Sure this doesn’t add any new functionality to Hahlo, but that isn’t the point.

While I’m also talking about 4.1 I should give you a quick list of what to expect.

  • Support for the new Retweet API, including each of the three retweet timelines (Retweeted to me, Retweeted by me and Retweets of me)
  • Support for the new ‘home’ timeline, same as current friends timeline but includes Retweets.
  • Support for the geolocation/geotagging api, which may or may not be live when 4.1 goes out.
  • Support for Lists – view your lists, the lists you are following the lists that are following you, add people to lists, create new lists, and more.
  • Tweetmeme support, better twitter trends (if new api is active in time) and much more…

If you’ve got a suggestion, or found a bug that needs to be squashed, now is the time to let me know so I can try and take care of it in 4.1

  1. Links in retweets will not be an issue in Hahlo 4.1 as I’m switching to the new ReTweet api.

  2. Found another bug: expended URL is still expended in retweet.

    For example, I retweet a shortened wikipedia link, and the retweet would be “http://wikipedia.org/…”. This link is totally useless.

  3. The icon looks great. I really appreciate all of the effort you put into this app. It’s still one of the finest Twitter apps out there, period. Thank you.

  4. What a great icon. Love it. Worth the wait.
