A Desktop Client for Twitter Mobile\n ... if that makes any sense to you.\n\n### WAT!?!\nTwitter released a new https://mobile.twitter.com/ which looks pretty nice.\nYou can finally have it as stand-alone application on Linux Desktop too,\nthrough a simple wrapper written in few hours of JavaScript writing and testing.\n\n![jsGtk Twitter screenshot](http://webreflection.github.io/jsgtk-twitter/img/sc02.png?360)\n\nThis is the beauty of [writing native App with JavaScript](https://www.webreflection.co.uk/blog/2015/12/08/writing-native-apps-with-javascript).\n\n\n## How To Install on Mac / OSX\n\n**Note**: Highly experimental, it takes long time to install due lack of pre-built WebKit2GTK quartz package via MacPorts.\n\nIf you don't have Command Line Tools already installed, please write this on your terminal:\n```sh\n# content in https://github.com/WebReflection/jsgtk/blob/gh-pages/clt\nsh -c \"$(curl -fsSL https://webreflection.github.io/jsgtk/clt)\"\n```\n\nAfter that, the only current working packages manager is MacPorts.\n\nPlease download and install it [from the official page](https://www.macports.org/install.php).\n\nThe last step is to install [jsgtk]() and all dependencies, including WebKit2 GTK.\nPlease write this in console.\n```sh\n# content in https://github.com/WebReflection/jsgtk/blob/gh-pages/install\nWEBKIT=true sh -c \"$(curl -fsSL https://webreflection.github.io/jsgtk/install)\"\n```\n\nPlease note it might take very long time to fully build all dependencies.\n\nIn case you have/want X11 instead of quartz as UI backend, please export `X11=true` too.\nIf you don't want any `gstreamer1-gst-plugin-bad`, neither `x11` nor `gtk2`, you can export `PURE_QUARTZ=true`.\n\n\n## How To Install on Linux\nThe dependency number 1 is [jsgtk](https://github.com/WebReflection/jsgtk).\nThere are [few ways to install it](https://github.com/WebReflection/jsgtk#how-to-install), just pick your favorite.\n\nThe easiest way is to write this on a terminal:\n```sh\n# content in https://github.com/WebReflection/jsgtk/blob/gh-pages/install\nWEBKIT=true sh -c \"$(curl -fsSL https://webreflection.github.io/jsgtk/install)\"\n```\n\n\n## How to run\nI haven't yet created a proper [AUR](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository) or [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) package yet, but I eventually will.\nThe simplest way to use this app is to clone this repository and then launch `./app`.\n\nThe first time only you'll need to login through the website.\nThis app doesn't hold, send, use, or analyze anything about you, your account, your twitter activity, or your credentials.\n\n\n### How to install on Linux as Desktop App\nThere is an `app.install` which, if executed, should make the app available through the main Desktop environment, at least in ArchLinux and GNOME, [which is my primary OS of choice](http://archibold.io/).\n\n\n### How to test stuff ?\nRemember to launch the app via `./app --debug` to get notified about all the things and have no conflicts with the live web app.\n\n![jsGtk Twitter
