Revisiting Twitter clients

Revisiting Twitter clients

[blinux-list]

Hi all,

I find myself often starting the PC and just doing what I needed to do 
without starting an XSession at all.

Quickly editing a document using, in my case, Nano, simply because I 
actually like it for being simple, easy and effective. Maybe playing some 
music, and now that I've figured it out, reading my mail using alpine.

Is there a reasonably good TUI Twitter client that doesn't rely on any 
kind of XSession?

I know this has been discussed but, since stuff change so darn fast in 
tech, and particularly in the FOS world, maybe there's something new to 
say on the topic.

Warm regards,

Tim here.  A while back I tried a smattering of CLI Twitter clients
and was pretty disappointed.  Rainbowstream was the least bad of
them, so that's where I'd start.

https://github.com/orakaro/rainbowstream

It required the ability to do an OAUTH credential thing, but I think
it can be completed using an external browser (such as one on a phone
or on a different computer) since all it needs to do is get
confirmation from Twitter that the login is legit.

Hi Tim,

It is rather bad, about at the same level as "twterm".

I am just glad that if you want to, you can actually do this.

If I had a choice, I'd never touch a GUI interface again in my life, 
however, I think that may just be me wishfully dreaming of something that 
will never happen.

Warm regards,
