Features
Autocomplete everywhere
MahTweets has inline replies, as well as the main
'composition textbox' at the top - and throughout all plugins, all
places you can enter in an update, auto-complete is enabled. We'll
be expanding auto-complete to hashtags (as well as WhatTheHashtag
definition lookup!)
Customisation
It's great that in Windows
you can customise your background, mouse cursors, fonts, sounds and
colours - so why can't your social media client do the same?
With MahTweets 3, we've got several themes as well as the ability
to change each colour and font to how you want it.
Want something that suits you better, but don't know what suits you? MahTweets pulls down a list of popular colour swatches from Adobe's Kuler which with one click you can apply
Adaptive background
Sometimes theming a program can be a pain in the
backside. Wouldn't it be great if there was some magic that would
suck the colours out of your Windows background wallpaper? In
MahTweets, if you enable Adaptive Theme, MahTweets will
automatically reskin itself every time your background changes.
This supports the Windows 7 slideshow background feature too.
Just glance to see changes with Windows 7
Sometimes social networks
can just be too overwhelming. Minimising columns in MahTweets pops
them into a "Mosaic" mode where you can just view information about
that group by just hovering over MahTweets in the Windows 7
taskbar
Plugin Architecture
The real power of MahTweets is our awesome plugin system. Every connection - Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, Twitpic YFrog - is a plugin. MahTweets makes use of the Managed Extensibility Framework in .NET 4 allowing the community to the client.
Soon we'll publish documentation on how you can create and upload your own plugins to share with everybody.
Tweet Splitting
Don't you hate it when you have something really longer than 140
characters to say, and you have to manually split it into multiple
tweets? Not anymore!
MahTweets takes the hassle out of it by automagically splitting
your tweets, and adds indicators as to how many tweets it will
span.
Auto-expand shortened urls
Tired of being Rick Rolled (I'm looking at you @griffmiester)
through tinyurl, is.gd, bit.ly (and many others)?
By auto-expanding the shortened url's (using Long URL Please), you can
won't be launched into sites you know are bad.
We currently support the full 79 url shortening services that Long
Url Please supports.
Filtering/Grouping
MahTweets has some of the most advanced and customisable
filtering & grouping of any Social Media client.
If you want to have one column with all the "responses" (such as
mentions or direct messages) from all your accounts, you can do
that.
Scripting
Want to quickly add functionality to MahTweets without having to
compile or even exit the application? Scripting via .NET's DLR
(just IronPython at the moment) allows interactions with Updates or
the words inside those updates.
So far we've got translation, definition, address manipulation - what can you script up?
