Cawbird Twitter Client (Corebird fork)

Cawbird is a modern and lightweight Twitter client for the GNOME 3 desktop. It features inline image and video preview, creation of lists and favorites, filtering of tweets and full text search. Cawbird is able to manage multiple Twitter accounts.

Cawbird is a fork of Corebird, which became unsupported after Twitter disabled the streaming API. Cawbird works with the new APIs and includes a few fixes and modifications that have historically been patched in to IBBoard's custom Corebird build on his personal Open Build Service account[1].

Due to changes in the Twitter API[2], Cawbird has the following limitations:

Cawbird will update every two minutes
Cawbird does not get notified of the following, which will be refreshed on restart:
- Unfavourite
- Follow/Unfollow
- Block/Unblock
- Mute/Unmute
- DM deletion
- Some list changes

All limitations are limitations imposed by Twitter and are not the fault of the Cawbird client.
