A minimal Mac OS X app.net client

• Mountain Lion
• Xcode 4.5(latest beta), maybe 4.4
• Courage

• Create a app.net client app.
• Use "x-com-toxicsoftware-appstream:///" as the Callback URL.
• NEW: I've embedded a client_id into the source. You do not need to make your own app on app.net.
• Don't forget to do a submodule update!
• Build and run the app, follow the instructions for setting the client id

• I want to make a stable featureful app.net client that works really well in full screen mode. Whether this means multiple column (tweetdeck style but less shit) or not is up for debate

• UI is ass. Not too interested in UI until basic network and database functionality is there.
• Overloading of the term stream: https://alpha.app.net/schwa/post/52516 - this is a problem in code. As real app.net streams come online I expect a refactor will be needed.
• User Lists
• User Info
• Post detail view
• Database will grow and grow. Need to prune at some point.
• Code is being "sketched out" and is far from well designed. Expect a lot of churn/refactoring
• Deleting (implemented)
• Refresh (implemented)
• Polling (implemented)
• Posting (implemented)
• Replies (implemented)
• User notifications (implemented)

• Use the Latent Semantic Mapping framework to classify posts
• Intelligently handle hashtags, usernames, urls etc - provide popover contextual info/actions on these item, e.g. hashtags popover will have a "view all posts with this hashtag" action.
• Markdown support
• Built in filtering, blocking, spam control and triggered actions
• Relying on server to fix spam problem is foolish
• Actions include user notifications, scripts?
• Built in fav star style functionality
• Statistics on your behavior and on per people (how spammy is that person, how many tweets per hour enter my stream)

• I haven't included a license yet but all code will be licensed under the BSD 2 clause license.
