=Gutter

Gutter is a free Twitter client written in Shoes for Ruby (http://www.shoooes.net)

==Why

I wrote this to better understand Shoes, and more importantly, packaging applications with Shoes.

The exact same codebase works in Linux, OSX and hopefully Windows (tested in Windows 7).

==Install

In Linux:

• http://github.com/toothrot/gutter/downloads
• ./gutter-(version).run

In OSX:

• http://github.com/toothrot/gutter/downloads
• gutter-version.dmg

In Windows:

• Install Ruby (http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/)
• Install Shoes (http://shoooes.net/)
• Download the latest Gutter .shy (http://github.com/toothrot/gutter/downloads)
• Open the .shy from inside Shoes!

==Features

• Built-in Twitpic viewing
• Anti-Social Networking:
  • Hide posts from a User
  • Hide posts matching a Regular Expression
• Basic theme support
• More...

==Things

• Use Shoes 2 from http://www.shoooes.net
• Growl/Libnotify: install "growlnotify" or "notify-send" (if you want it).
• Windows support coming soon.

==TODO

• Direct messaging needs to work.
• add images to growl/libnotify
• multiple accounts
• handle failed connections/timeouts better

==Also

• Icons are from the Silk Icon set (http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/)
• Gutter is GPLv3
