What does it filter? What do you consider 'Noise'?

It will be helpful to know, you and the owner of the twitter account might have different opinions about what constitutes noise on their TL.

Any plans for an Android Version?

Good work, Kudos for Shipping.

Very rudimentary definition of "noise", basically sorts by most active tweets, also considering follower count.

I don't know any Java right now, so not for a while I'm afraid!

I like it.

Not sure what you consider 'noise' but so far it's better than my unfiltered timeline.

Is there a way to increase the number of tweets?

What are your future plans?

benhowdle12년 전

What number would be optimal? 20, 25? Interested in finding this out from people...

Roadmap includes favouriting and retweeting of tweets and certain export options, like "save to Pocket"

Yeah i'd be happy with 25 and a 'slide down to refresh' feature.

Roadmap sounds good.

I'd be interested to know, have you customised UI kit controls, or was this built with one of the many "HTML5" based iOS frameworks where you just write in Javascript and HTML?

Hey Dan, no I went with straight objective-c. Wrote up my experiences here: http://cl.ly/VE8Z

Hey Ben - nice work! You don't mention it in your writeup, so perhaps you haven't seen it before, but I highly recommend checking out my website, http://www.cocoacontrols.com. It might prove useful for your next project.

Thanks for making Cocoa Controls. It is indispensable.

thanks for making this, have looked through the site many times. wish there was more [modern ones] for OS X, but I understand that's a reflection of what's out there. :)

Very nice app, simple, intuitive and clean design. However, I would definitely like more tweets! Preferably, an infinite scroll down/refresh, I'd say. Keep up the good work!

I see several mentions of Sketch in the screenshots, and you briefly mention it in your writeup. What was your experience like using Sketch?

I like this because of the full screen mode. Makes you pay attention to one tweet at a time.
