Open BonoNL opened 9 years ago

If it's possible, would it be able to make gif's and Vine pictures directly possible in Tweetian?

I'll buy you some beers in advance to make the work more easier ;)

Dammit, where to donate?

Take my money!

blabber commented 9 years ago

Slightly OT, but as I use Tweetian daily, I am also interested in supporting further development with donations if you provide a way to do so.

veskuh commented 9 years ago

Gifs support should be easy addition. Wine I'll need to investigate.

BonoNL commented 9 years ago

Veskuh,maybe some beer will give you a good idea. May I donate?

veskuh commented 9 years ago

Thanks for the kind beer offers :) I do enjoy a good pint every now and then, but I'm not collecting donations yet. I will probably do a small crowdfunding campaign closer to the release of Jolla tablet to add proper Jolla tablet support for Tweetian, and help then will be appreciated.

As for this issue, I'll probably taking a look next week. This week I'm vacationing at Rome.

Already want some beer from me? The tablet release date is coming closer ;)

BonoNL commented 9 years ago

I bet the only thing you need is time ;)

veskuh commented 9 years ago

Heh, yeah more time would be great, I don't want to spent all of it in front of computer.

I did investigate animated GIF support and it is more complex issue than I originally thought. Twitter actually converts them to mp4 videos and the public twitter API only contains link to preview image of the video. There is no API to use for getting either the original GIF or the video so implementing this is not possible with current Twitter API.

Wine support I have not yet investigated.

Thanks for spending time on this. I hope you open a donation link somewhere as soon as the tablet is out so we can buy beer time for you.

I will throw this one into the coding competition.
