Atarashii

Atarashii is a simple Twitter Client for your GNOME Desktop.

It uses GTK+ and Webkit to archive a slim and functional design. The code itself is written in Python and uses the corresponding Python bindings for the GTK+ libraries.

Installation

There are currently three ways for you to get Atarashii.

#1: Way of the user - Using the pre build Package

This is most likely the simpelst one is to install the pre build Debian-Package from the Downloads section.

The package will automatically setup the repo config and install the public key, so you don't have to check for updates on GitHub, instead just use your systems update manager.

#2: GIT lovers choice - Installation from the repository

Open a shell and issue the following commands:

git clone git://github.com/BonsaiDen/Atarashii.git
./make

After that just install the created Debian-Package.

You may need to install fakeroot in order to be able to build the package. Also there is a rare bug where dpkg-deb fails to open/find the control file. If you encounter this please send me a mail with more details.

#3: For the real Coding Kittens - Running the debug version

If you want to hack on Atarashii you can just clone the repo and then run ./debug to start Atarashii.

Due to hardlinks in the CSS file the favorite/reply icons won't work until Atarashii has been installed with one of the above methods.

Watch out if you clone the next branch, sometimes changes that get pushed up their can break stuff.

TODO

  • Add more translations ( See Issue6 )
  • Implement a search view(?)
