Gutter¶ ↑

Gutter is a free Twitter client written in Shoes for Ruby (www.shoooes.net)

Why¶ ↑

I wrote this to better understand Shoes, and more importantly, packaging applications with Shoes.

The exact same codebase works in Linux, OSX and hopefully Windows (tested in Windows 7).

Install¶ ↑

In Linux:

* http://github.com/toothrot/gutter/downloads
* ./gutter-(version).run

In OSX:

* http://github.com/toothrot/gutter/downloads
* gutter-version.dmg

In Windows:

* Install Ruby (http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/)
* Install Shoes (http://shoooes.net/)
* Download the latest Gutter .shy (http://github.com/toothrot/gutter/downloads)
* Open the .shy from inside Shoes!

Features¶ ↑

* Built-in Twitpic viewing
* Anti-Social Networking:
  * Hide posts from a User
  * Hide posts matching a Regular Expression
* Basic theme support
* More...

Things¶ ↑

* Use Shoes 2 from http://www.shoooes.net
* Growl/Libnotify: install "growlnotify" or "notify-send" (if you want it).
* Windows support coming soon.

TODO¶ ↑

* Direct messaging needs to work.
* add images to growl/libnotify
* multiple accounts
* handle failed connections/timeouts better

Also¶ ↑

* Icons are from the Silk Icon set (http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/)
* Gutter is GPLv3
