Tweetdeck alternatives 201511/7/2023 Predictive text, if used, limits the conversation to a box only as big as a programmers imagination and literary ambition. Unfortunately, it seems to me that the programmers job is made simpler when the human conversation is simpler. Weirdly, if it is in the “recent” list, it will attach without complaint.Īdd onto this the horrible, cluttered interface in Outlook these days (so much white space and other huge elements) that make e-mail navigation a pain on a small screen and I can’t help think that fixing basic issues like these and improving the accessibility of the programs should be a far higher priority than a feature which 99% of people will probably just disable. Thus forcing me to close the spreadsheet, attach it, then re-open it again. I’m also sick of the recent bug in Outlook that won’t let you attach a document to an e-mail if it is open in another window. Quite why the server processing seems to share the same thread as the UI is beyond me. Outlook still loves to hang for several seconds at a time if there’s any issue accessing a mailbox (particularly a problem if you have several mailboxes open, or if your VPN connection temporarily drops). To quit the app, hit Ctrl + Q.Īm I the only one that wishes that MS would instead focus on fixing some of the more glaring issues with their software before implementing silly new gimmicks like this? I also noticed that two icons appear on the system tray, if you try to run the program, when it is already open. Note: The tray menu's quit option doesn't work properly. If only it did what it does in a lighter package, that would have been perfect. As someone who detests Twitter's default interface, and as a TweetDeck fan, I think the program offers an impressive experience, but I disagree with the "small app that can fit your pocket thing", at a 168MB it is anything but small. The application opens links in your default browser, but you can toggle an option from the Settings menu, to make it load directly in the program's window.Ītomic TweetDeck is an open source Electron app. Go back a page with alt + left arrow, or Forward with alt + right arrow. Thought the program refreshes the timeline automatically, you can do it manually by using Ctrl + R. it won't copy a Tweet's URL, or a profile link, and instead copies a link to TweetDeck's website. In case of text content, the menu's copy page link option doesn't work as expected, e.g. Similarly, you can also to copy a link to the media, it uses Twitter's URL shortening service for this. When you have an image open and right right-click on it, the menu allows you to copy the photo to the clipboard. The app can open media content directly, so you don't need to open the web browser just to view a picture or play a video. If you've used TweetDeck before, you may know that it has different right-click menus based on the content that you clicked on.Ītomic TweetDeck retains the experience for the most part, i.e., clicking the three-dot button offers the same options, but the app has some extra menus. The app support s a few keyboard shortcuts, you can minimize it with the hotkey Ctrl + W. Double-click on the tray icon or use its right-click menu > Toggle to bring back the window. The program sits in the system tray while minimized. Login to your Twitter account, and maximize the window. I suppose calling Atomic TweetDeck a web wrapper isn't totally fair, since it does offer some unique options. For those unaware, the sidebar on the left has buttons to compose a Tweet, perform a search on Twitter, view your timeline, access your lists, add columns, etc. If you're used to the original, there is no learning curve here. The interface is identical to Tweetdeck's web UI, which is a good thing. The first thing you're probably going to ask is, how and why is it using TweetDeck's logo and design? It isn't, the app is sort of a web wrapper that allows you to access TweetDeck, in other words, it's a web browser that is limited to the official site: The app is portable, and starts in a compact window. If you want a standalone application that resembles the website, Atomic TweetDeck is an interesting choice.
