twty's Issues

Enhance color support

Although coloring seems to be a good feature, the hard-coded colors hurt my eyes due to my light terminal background.

Suggestions are:

• Add an option to turn on/off coloring
• Detect current terminal color scheme

Support of more than one Twitter account

twty is cool Twitter client, but I have two different Twitter account. twty can use only one in the same time. Please add support of more that one account.

Workaround:
Add to .profile:

function to { cp ~/.config/twty/settings-openvz.json ~/.config/twty/settings.json; twty $@; }
function te { cp ~/.config/twty/settings-estet.json ~/.config/twty/settings.json; twty $@; }

and use 'to' and 'te' commands in terminal with same options as twty has.

Error trying to sign into application first time

I get the redirected localhost when Authorize twty to access your account:
https://127.0.0.1:9000/?oauth_token=XXXXXXX

this gives the following error: This site can’t be reached127.0.0.1 refused to connect.

I can't seem to upload MP4 Videos using the -m flag

Love the app but I can't seem to upload MP4 Videos using the -m flag

Please fix the link on the Repository About

http://mattn.kaoriya.net/

The scheme of this link is plaintext HTTP.
It would be great if the scheme were HTTPS.

It confused me when I created the Homebrew Formula definition from repository information.

Enable tweet_mode=extended

I think it's a good idea to enable this by default.

How to encode new line?

Hey! I'm trying to automate some blog posts and when I try:

echo "This is a test for a \n new line!" > tweet | twty -ff tweet

The tweet just shows \n, not a new line.

Thanks!
