DestroyTwitter 2.0 Preview: Differentiating between preferences
With multiple accounts in DestroyTwitter 2.0, there are a number of things to consider—one being preferences. In the current release, preferences are global across all accounts. In 2.0, however, some preferences are specific to each account. Above is my plan for divvying them up. Most rest under application, constant across all accounts, but there are a few that might differ from account to account.
Settings like refresh intervals are a given since some accounts require more frequent updates than others while some have canvases that don’t even need to update at all. The ability to disable Quick Friend Lookup when typing “@” is a new preference that is specific to each account. For instance, I want this enabled for my @destroytoday account since I frequently tweet to friends. On the reverse, I want it disabled for @destroytwitter since I only tweet to someone who asks a question or submits feedback.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll write a post previewing the upcoming release. I’m hoping to get it out this month, for private testing at the very least. Check back often for insight into what to expect.
how much accounts will 2.0 support?
All good news, Jonnie !
I’m wishlisting one feature though :
- integrating cli.gs short urls.
Love !
Could I get to be on the beta list? Most have my tweete have used DestroyTwitter
@demzzy — DT(w) will support up to 5 accounts.
@Johann — I’ll be adding the ability to use a custom URL shortener in one of the next few releases.
@happyt — I’ll be posting an announcement detailing how to sign up for the private beta. Hold tight
The “Quick Friend Lookup” is what every iPhone Twitter app lacks. Maybe it’s not possible with iPhone API’s. I have learned that this is one of the top features of DestroyTwitter that I can not do with out. I am glad to see an option to disable it for those wish to.
I’m so glad you are thinking about the little things that make an app complete. Big flashy features are nice but it’s the everyday little things that keep DT(w) on my dock.
plz support
‘lists’
‘direct message button’ separated from tweets and also
‘friends’
cant wait til the beta starts..
I would like to know, if it – since there is now a possibility to have multiply accounts – will be possible to run 2 (or more) accounts simultaneously, or running two program instances at the same time?
Would be helpful for people (like you), who have more than one “regular” account.
But i guess that’s not a feature a majority of DTs user would need.
Oh and (sorry for the double-post):
I really appreciate your work and I am looking forward to the next release!
