Qt Twitter client Choqok has squawked back to life
- rvz 7y agoPerhaps the name alone is one of the reasons why it 'died' in the first place. The authors are being too clever with the origin of the name and it doesn't catch on with potential users. I would rename it if I was to revive a project like this. I'm happy with a Qt Twitter client (No Electron) but the name is somewhat forgettable.
- app4soft 7y agoFew years ago on desktop PC I played with Corebird (Vala-based) until its development was abandoned. Choqok looks interesting, but it would be cool if there would be an option to strip-down it during compiling so it wouldn't depend on the KDE libraries (in same way as kdiff3-qt package). As for now on Android I use Twidere[0] app & on my Linux desktop use just legacy https://mobile.twitter.com https://mobile.twitter.com throw any browser (with JS disabled; and if I need upload some media switch to regular https://twitter.com https://twitter.com with JS enabled), but still keep watching on Cawbird[1] (Corebird fork) and retcon[2] (wxWidgets-based) as my next desktop client. FTR, There are also Qt/QML-based mobile Twitter-clients for MeeGo/Maemo[3] and Sailfish OS[4], which (with some additional patches) also could be packaged for Linux desktop.
