Twitter has a solid collection of open source stuff on GitHub, i.e. the Twitter Bootstrap. Sure, maybe they don't have to release the ENTIRE app, but it would be ideal if they could contribute some of their work (such as the UI patterns) back to the community.
- king_magic 15y agoI've searched for more info on this, and each time it comes back to that one quote I posted. That quote, IMO, absolutely is not saying Twitter will open source their app. It sounds to me like they were saying Google would open source some code used in the app. Maybe I'm missing something, but I really do not see that quote the same way the OP does.
- chuinard 15y agoIf I changed the words from 'said they would' to 'said it would be', would that be satisfactory?
- king_magic 15y agoNo, I don't think so. If Twitter's statement changed from this: "We had a great time working with the Android team and are thrilled that Google will be open sourcing the code used in this app in the near future." To this: "We had a great time working with the Android team and are thrilled that we will be open sourcing this app in the near future." Then I would have been convinced.
- fizguerra 15y agoI would be satisfied.
