I am making a twitter client. if I don't come back in 12-24 hours with an update I am going to drop the idea instead of keeping it knocking around my head for months. Here goes!
What platform and/or language are you writing it in?

I am probably going to make it my node.js learning project

I have some 'real' work to do first so still wrapping that up.. will get started on this in a few hrs

DarkForest: Login. read twitter. post to twitter. :)

Actually beyond the 'tech learning project' part I've also wanted a twitter client that can handle some of my quirks (e.g. I like to put in real unicode dashes and quote marks, I have to convert the text before copy pasting it into twitter with a live tool I made against wordpress' text formatting function; I want to see if I can post to twitter/fb/g+ simultaneously; etc.)

And I think there is an opportunity to make something successful if I'm serious because twitter's web client is an unwieldy, slow-loading disaster and has been going the wrong way for years. I've also noticed that RSS web clients are dead so I can add that kinda thing in later too.

OK I've setup node.js on amazon ec2 but ... I can't quite barge ahead like I was thinking, this is kinda new and strange

will see what progress can be made later today
