I’ve been coding in C for sometime. Been working on a command line app for twitter (I couldn’t find one). I’ve made something and it barely works. It’s under heavy development (whatever I keep doing with it all day that is).
Currently, it sends,receives updates,replies to them and retweets. Really a bare minimum. I’m working on it , learning a lot of new things in the process, and hope to make it a full fledged twitter client for terminal lovers such as me. It uses libcurl,ncurses,libxml2.
It’s available here. It’s not even an Alpha. I call it the “bare-just-works” release. It doesn’t break systems, if that’s what youre thinking. Please give it a try and provide feedback at sanjay DOT ankur AT gmail DOT com. If you have the time to go through the source and can advise me on better ways of implementing what I’ve done, please do. I’m still a novice!
It still doesn’t have Unicode support. I’m learning how to implement that in C and it’s on the “To-do” list. Please read through the README before trying it.

There is alternative at http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/bti.html. it is in the repo. You might consider supporting identi.ca as well.
hi,
I’ve seen that already.. someone at the irc had pointed it out to me.. as far as i remember, it only sends your updates. what im trying to implement is an entire client (send , view, etc).. i don’t use identica much so i havent implemented it. I will once i have the entire client working properly with the different modules.. shouldnt be too much work..
thanks,
regards,
Ankur
Interesting. I was thinking how nice it would be to have a ncurses based twitter client the other day.
I can’t access the tarball anymore. Do you have an alternate link?
hmmm, it’s been quite a while for twit_tui, and with OAuth etc., it’s broken and won’t work. I can put it up somewhere if you really want to look at it
