Multi-Account implementation
I started to use corebird with two accounts and would like to open up an discussion about an "better" implementation of that because two corebird windows waste just to much space on my screen and even if I used tabbed layout with $tilingwm the problem would be that I wouldn't see if there are new tweets/notifications.
If I may, I chime in with @lukasepple here – but first, thanks a lot for making Corebird! It's so good to see somebody putting effort in creating a visually compelling Twitter app for Linux. :+1:
Regarding the multi account feature: I could imagine that merging all the separate windows into one single Corebird window could work as well – you'd always have the Avatar to distinguish the accounts. Same goes for the workflow. One common thing I'm stumbling upon is me trying to »do functionality [a] as user [b]«, e.g.
- retweet this as [account a]
- reply as [account b] …and so on.
I'd love to see your take on this, @baedert. :smile:
Uff. So, selecting accounts you always want to receive notifications for is something I had planned once (see https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BVmAuRoCMAEGt33.png, that switch) but didn't implement at the time so I just removed it from the UI again.
Changing the account currently shown in a window is something I also wanted to have and it's currently done in the main-widget branch (alongside with a different flow for account creation which seems to confuse some people).
That said, having multiple streaming connections would not be such a big problem, but switching between all the UIs kina is... I guess. I'll look at it but I currently just lack time.
Sorry, misread your post. Thought you got it working to some extent in another branch.
