Hermelin is a fork of Hotot, the "Lightweight, Flexible Microblogging Client" supporting Twitter at this point of development. (identi.ca and similar may be readded later)
I forked Hotot for the reason that it won't get any bigger updates here in the future because the developer stated that the future updates of hotot won't be opensource & free.
I think it is sad that there aren't much free Twitter Clients, so i don't want Hotot to die.
##Installing the Chrome/Chromium Version:
To install Hermelin in chrome or chromium, simply install it from the Chrome Web Store.
To load the newest commit you have to:
- Download this git repo (via the git clone command on linux or the downloadable zip file).
- Go to Chrome/Chromiums Extensions page and activate developer mode (top right corner).
- Click "Load unpacked extension…" and choose the folder of the repository (../Hermelin).
It is not possible to update the Web Store Extension with this method.
For that you'd have to:
- Download this git repo (via the git clone command on linux or the downloadable zip file).
- Copy everything except manifest.json from the data/ directory into the Web Store extensions directory.
The folder where Chrome/Chromium extensions are stored differs from OS to OS - In there should be the folder jkajhbbfjgkbjeldopihmjfcaebjgobg/ in which you'll find the folder with the newest version.
