NOTE: This project is no longer maintained. This is the source code for the Buzzbird multi-platform twitter client. Buzzbird is based on the Mozilla XUL platform and runs on OSX, Windows, and Linux. You can learn more about Buzzbird on its homepage, here: https://getbuzzbird.com If you want to download the source and try it out "the hard way", first download the Mozilla XULrunner runtime from here: https://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/ Follow Mozilla's instructions for how to install it. After installing XULrunner, you *should* be able to run Buzzbird at the command line, either by running bang.sh (OSX and Linux), or bang.bat (Windows). On OSX, bang.sh will put an application bundle in your /Applications folder prior to running the app. Buzzbird is packaged using the pkg.sh/pkg.bat scripts, along with some other magic after the fact - on Windows, the free version of the Advanced Installer (https://www.advancedinstaller.com/) is used in conjunction with the buzzbird-template.aip file in the source directory and the contents of the pkg directory to create an install package. On Linux and OSX, we just create a tarball or ZIP file of the pkg directory. Once packaged, end users don't need to concern themselves with getting a XUL runner runtime. This source code is pretty terrible. I started writing it when I knew literally no Javascript, and very little CSS, in order to teach myself Javascript and CSS. Since then, I've learned a lot both from this project and from other work-related activity, and I now recognize how ugly a lot of it is. I'm slowly working on refactoring it, but refactoring is never as fun as adding new features, so it'll be ugly for a while. All the source code is licensed under the MIT license. Enjoy. - Mike
