Fork of @carpeaqua’s Soapbox Twitter client. Nothing much has changed.

Soapbox

What Is This?

This is Soapbox, yet another Twitter client for iOS.

After the demise of Buzz Andersen's excellent Birdfeed client, I started toiling away on my own Twitter client to meet my unique needs: mainly I need a client that filters tweets. I also wanted a client that didn't look like yet another clone of Tweetie with a tab-bar along the bottom and plain table cells for tweet display.

When Loren Brichter sold Tweetie to Twitter, I stopped working on Soapbox full-time as I lost confidence in productizing it under the Second Gear umbrella. This is now my project car that I tinker with in the garage on nights and weekends.

What Works

• Home timeline
• Mentions timeline
• Timeline filtering by word (Bieber) or source (Foursquare, Gowalla)
• Posting + Geolocation + Link shortening
• Multiple accounts
• In-app browser

TODO

• Multitasking support
• UI graphics need to be updated for retina display
• Single tweet view
• Direct messages
• Search
• User profiles
• Photo uploading
• Kitchen sink
• Everything else

Building

Soapbox should build so long as you are running the iOS 4.1 SDK.

You will need to input your own OAuth keys for Twitter and Bit.ly in the SBConstants.m file. Just look for where it says "CHANGEME"
