I linked this app up back in February, but it’s worth a re-link in light of yesterday’s shit sandwich for Twitter client developers. What I wrote then still stands:
I sing the praises of Tweetbot every few weeks, but I still believe what I wrote almost three years ago: “Twitter Clients Are a UI Design Playground”. Another new iOS Twitter client that deserves attention is Twittelator Neue, from Stone Design. In a sense it’s a rather opposite design approach from Tweetbot — light vs. heavy.
Twittelator Neue is really good work, and it’s exactly the sort of app Twitter is explicitly seeking to discourage. Now’s the time to support apps like this.
