Add a button to tweets that allows me to block a user and report that user as spam.

1. Display a message "This will Block and report this user. Also, you will follow @spam if you don't do already"
2. Use the twitter API to block the selected user
3. Use the twitter API to send a DM to @spam

I'm not sure if they have an API now for this, see
http://support.twitter.com/entries/64986

It would be great to be able to turn notifications on and off. It is popping out all the time for me.

If Twitter is doing its usual fail-whale thing, Halfwit will sometimes prompt for an oAuth pin even if it has one or, worse, crash hard and ask you to debug the program. It'd be nice if, instead, some sort of message about Twitter API failure could be given so the user wouldn't keep trying over and over wondering why Halfwit isn't working. (It's not Halfwit's fault, but it's hard to tell based on behavior.)

I've noticed that when Halfwit starts up before I've connected my 3G wireless dongle, it reverts to asking for the OAuth pin, even though it already has one.

If I then close Halfwit and re-open it after the network connection has been made, it functions correctly.

Halfwit should check for Internet connectivity first before assuming the OAuth thingy isn't working.

If you try to retweet someone and the RT content would be over 140 characters, you're not allowed to retweet... even if you want to try to use the new/native retweet functionality (which would keep the actual tweet content below <= 140).

I make frequent use of lists in Twitter, but can't find a way to show them in HalfWit.

Keyboard Tweet Navigation

The emoticon button, next to the "Update" button by the text area, shows as a "square" - one of those "your character set doesn't support this character" squares. Clicking the emoticon button, the entire menu shows as squares except the first one on the third row, which shows as a "Sharp" character.

(That "square" also shows up when you retweet, but I figured that was expected.)

Not sure what font is being used, but at least on WinXP, that font doesn't have all the characters expected.

You can use the mouse alone to select a tweet, but you can't use it to deselect a tweet - you have to hold down the CTRL key. It would be helpful if you could just click again to deselect the tweet.

So you know when you click Follow, whether or not you're now following or not following user, so you can toggle it off or on and be sure.

The dialogs (e.g., MessageBox) that Halfwit shows don't use OS buttons. I'd suggest adding an app.manifest. Here's an example of what I use:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<asmv1:assembly manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv2="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" name="MyApplication.app"/>
<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity
type="win32"

version="6.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="*"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>
</asmv1:assembly>

However, I've not tried this with ClickOnce.

when proxy settings are in place, halfwitt does not appear to pick up the default settings and throws and error. This happens when requesting a PIN from Twitter. As soon as I click "Request Pin" Halfwitt throws an error and closes.

This is perhaps a long one for the future.

More than often I find someone posing a question on twitter to which I would love to see the replies, even if the replies come from users I'm not following. (which happens a lot)

If the twitter API allows it I would like to "subscribe" to a tweet meaning that I will automatically get any replies to that tweet.

It's probably a long shot... I know... but think about it :-)

F11, bye bye status bar, bye bye title bar, allow me to give halfwit the full screen love it diserves :D

I preferred the Orange, as the Green is far too close to the blue on my laptop screen (plus I'm a huge orange fan).

Any chance we could define our own colours for each of the tweet types in the settings?

It's an extra API call, so in the future it could be made an option, but for now, let's fetch the user's retweets when showing their home timeline.

On my work laptop for instance I personally prefer Chrome for surfing but I use IE as default browser for dev (and FF for compat. testing) and I'd prefer if links open up in Chrome from Halfwit.

The "parser" for the text currently looks for "http://"; but not "https://", so https links aren't being highlighted.

Since you only get a certain amount of API requests per hour for all applications you use, it'd be nice to be able to set a maximum number of requests per hour for Halfwit. That way if you have other Tweeting clients and Twitter does its "you only get 40 API requests per hour" thing, you can set things so you don't run out.
