Quakk v1.0 Final Release

Posted in Software on Tuesday, Tuesday, July 29, 2008 by Anthony Burns

Yowsers! It's finally here, the final build of Quakk v1.0.

Here's a few things that have been fixed/tweaked since the last beta:

  • No longer crashes randomly when updating
  • Send Tweet window auto-closes when your Tweet is sent
  • The height of each Tweet is now ALWAYS large enough to fit the text in
  • The local time set on your device is now taken into account when displaying Tweet times
  • The direct message timeline now works
  • The drawing of each tweet is now done using double-buffering to minimize flicker

QuakkSetup.cab

Copy the CAB file to your Windows Mobile device and run it, the CAB installer will install Quakk and create a shortcut in your Programs menu.

You might need to download and install the .NET Compact Framework 2 if you're running Windows Mobile 5 - if so, you can download that here.

I don't know how much more I'm going to add to Quakk in the future, as I have other crazy contraptions I want to build, but I am planning on open sourcing it very soon, once I've had the chance to clean up the code.

Follow me on Twitter (@littlecharva) to keep abreast of any further updates.

Any updates?

None in the pipeline at the moment I'm afraid - I was kinda hoping that open-sourcing it would bring a flood of developers in to help out, but sadly not. I might get a chance to work some magic early next year.

It's a shame... Quakk is the best Twitter-program for WM!

Is there something wrong with sending twitter update via Quakk? It is take more than two weeks.

Burns spoke on Monday, Monday, January 26, 2009

There's no way to change the font size I'm afraid. And yes, there is a problem with Quakk sending tweets - I think Twitter have made a change to their API which has stopped Quakk from working - I'll try to get an update out as soon as possible, but I'm very busy at the moment.
