Open-source (legacy) Mac Twitter client
h1. Canary
By Nick Toumpelis
Canary is an open source twitter client, written in Objective-C and Cocoa, available under an MIT-style license. It was originally conceived about a year and a half ago, as a learning exercise, as I was slowly getting acquainted with Mac development in my free time. I’ve learned a lot since then, especially about the intricacies and strange quirks of Cocoa (and I’m still confronted with more…).
As I’m not a very good or prolific writer (my blog gets updated once a month), this is my small contribution back to the community. It will be useful not only to those developing their own Twitter client but everyone that wishes to deal with remote data and APIs. Canary communicates with the Twitter API, but also sends data to TwitPic and various URL shortening services.
Canary is under heavy development and buggy (and not very well designed, either - but there is some good code in here).
