Twic Extension

The opensource twitter client for Chromium based browsers.

Built with pure javascript with no frameworks used, so it is lightweight and very fast.

Previous version

I'm trying to rewrite the previous version from scratch. It can be found here.

How to help

You need to install NodeJS, grunt, PhantomJS and run this:

git clone https://github.com/silentroach/grunt-chrome-ext
cd grunt-chrome-ext
npm link
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/silentroach/twic.git
cd twic
npm install
grunt
phantomjs tools/rasterizeImages.js

grunt-chrome-ext package is used to build extension. Later when it will be stable, it will be a package.json dependence.

Then you need to add the src folder to your Chrome extensions list in developer mode.

Please respect the EditorConfig project settings.

Database

Be carefull to use git master branch version - automatic database migrations are described only between production versions.

To remove the extension database you need to open background page console (click on the "background page" link in Chrome extensions list page) and run this:

indexedDB.deleteDatabase(twic.db.name);
