Updates, updates and updates
Hi,
While Lucas is busy with the new backend, I wanted to make the current system a lot faster. So I looked into all the database queries and optimized the whole system. Since the speed is a lot better we’ve seen a lot of new users using twinterface and we’re really happy about that. :)
Next to the speed I started with a statistics module for the second time. The first time I was struggling with...

Great news about reinforcement!
Hi,
Great news, we finally found a developer, his name is Lucas Luitjes (and likes to be known as captain awesome ;-)) He worked on several projects, one of them is symbaloo. Lucas has great ideas for improvement. Today we started redesigning the complete backend and I’m going to start on some new elements of the frontend.
That’s it for now, more soon!
Grtz,

Back after a winter break
Hi,
It’s been silent for a month and there’s a reason for that. Last week I got back from a 3 week holliday to my favorite part of the world, Asia. We traveled around Malaysia and started on Borneo to go diving around Mabul and Sipadan. For me that is the best way to reset myself. Didn’t take my phone or my computer, just a sketchbook and some pencils. The sketchbook is still almost empty, and...

Spring cleaning started early
Hi All,
Last week I started with a code cleaning spree, there where a lot of almost duplicate functions. And better, right now javascript does a lot of calls to the internal API, I’ve redesigned it so almost all calls will be combined. I just started recoding some main features and started implementing more HTML5 features, I hope to finish this update somewhere before the end of january.

Maintenance weekend pt2
Hi,
Solved the main problems with a temporary fix, serverload is down to more acceptable levels, but it’s not good enough, so I decided to change the client so that it bundles calls that it’s doing seperate at the moment.
I hope to get this update out within a week.
Cheers,
Harold

Maintenance weekend,...
Hi,
As you’ve probably noticed TwinterFace has been (and still is) quite slow this weekend. I changed to maintenance mode quite a number of times to optimize the database server. I’m not finished with that just yet, The load of the database server is still way too high and I want to get that under control.
Sorry for the trouble. I’ll post an update here when I’m done.

Time, Resources and the Future,..
Hi,
A long time since I’ve added an item to the blog, I will try to do this more often, but time is the biggest problem :). Last month I released the completely renewed interface, and some smaller updates will be released soon.
I thought it would be about time to explain about TwinterFace. I started TwinterFace about 2 years ago. I designed and built the biggest part of the application,...

Hi There,
Ever since we’ve opened up for public beta we have been working really hard to get a completely new interface out. it’s not ready for realease yet, but we want to show you what it looks like.
We changed the complete flow and integrated everything in one window, we added some extra settings and we’re busy adding statistics.
Not all elements are finished but enjoy!

TwinterFace is open as Public Beta!
The last 2 weeks I had little sleep, there was a lot on my to-do-list and today I decided it was enough and I launched the public beta. We worked hard to get the backend completely ready, it has been stable for months now.
I kept postponing the public beta because I had a lot of things I wanted to do better and smarter, but sometimes you just have to launch it as it is, it looks great, runs...

new core updated
Hi!
Today we updated TwinterFace so it uses the new core, it has an even better python backend than we where testing last week. We’ve sent out some more invites and we will send out more in the next few days, depending of what little glitches you guys come up with.
What’s changed:
The core is new, tweets are now being cached and thus the system is a lot faster.
There is a new...

Everything is going to be new.
A few weeks ago I’ve told you all that we built a new core and that it was running fine in the background. Well it still is. It’s awesome and makes lots of new stuff possible. What does it do? Too much for one blogpost, but the main thing is, we now cache tweets, this so the interface is going to be smoother, faster and it has lots of other advantages.
Last few weeks Max and I have...

shortr.me
Small extra feature, we implemented the http://shortr.me url-trimming service. After typing an url the url will be trimmed automatically. Stats of the trimmed urls will be available later.
Have fun!
control the content
Yesterday we pushed an update where you can change the column’s content, you can now choose different types:
search
my tweets
friends stream
@mentions
direct messages
As extra you can now change the searchterm to whatever you want, it’s filtered so you won’t see your own tweets, and your mentions.
We also fixed some minor css bugs and a preferences bug.
The cookie system...
Pictures & url-trimmers
We’re almost ready with the implementation of shortr.me, in a real cool intuitive way, If that is what you like we can implement other trimmers. Now the question, which trimmers do you use and do you want us to add? there are quite a lot of them, but not all of them feature an API.
shortr.me
tinyurl
shor.ter.net
kots.nu
shorturl.com
and loads more
And we found a cool way to display...
Update!
Just updated the whole site, on some pages the entire interface changed, on other pages only small parts changed.
New features:
login by cookie (so, unless you log out, you don’t have to login anymore).
remove extra users from a twitteraccount (user keeps account).
new frontpage.
Bugs fixed:
what-are-you-doing popup is now visible on small screens.
lots of small css & javascript...
Just opened this blog.
Hello tweeps,
We just started this blog to keep you all posted with the updates we’re doing on twinterface, and especially the updates that won’t fit in 140 characters.
First of all, We are really happy that a lot of beta testers are testing TwinterFace, we’re not getting a lot of feedback, so that’s a good sign.
Later today I will post something about all the fun...
