Thx werkwolf. I'll give it a try. Could you give the home.buttom a bit of love :-)? Press home once should bring you to the top (implemented). But if you hit home again on top it should start refreshing the timelime. More comfort to use. Thx for your work (paid app support, piepmatz, wunderfitz).

Thx for the update. But since upgrading reapplying the alternative theme is working but not for the app icon in app drawer. it won't get changed. Piepmatz issue?

You only need to reinstall my Piepfish icon theme from Openrepos: https://openrepos.net/content/ferlanero/piepfish-complete-image-mod-piepmatz

For the app icon, you need a patch as it's not allowed to change the app icon from the app itself. Probably, you only need to reinstall the theme patch from Ferlanero.

Hi,

werkwolf. A possibility to refresh threads instead going back to timeline and reenter the tweet / thread would be very nice and useful. Atm I have to go back and back to the thread to see new comments. Thx for this feature rich client!

Hi,
I have PiepMatz v0.5. Is this version an upgrade from that which now requires payment? A little confused...

WerkWolf's picture

WerkWolf

Fri, 2018/04/20 - 11:26

That's correct. It's a major update (see the changelog above) and requires a contribution after a 14 days trial period. It's now published by the company WerkWolf because it's complicated for an individual to do business in various countries and for some other legal reasons. Development is still done on https://github.com/Wunderfitz/harbour-piepmatz

A contribution can be done by payment, translation to a new language or by code contribution. Translators and code contributors get a key via e-mail directly from us, those who paid get the key from digistore24. You can choose between 4 payment options, all unlock the whole app. It's up to you to decide which one suits you best and how much you value the work on the app and how much you like the result. :)

Thanks for this great app ;). I have it installed almost from the beginning. But as said already above:
"Saved search" is missing and this prevents to use it as daily Twitter app. As soon as "Saved search" is implemented I will donate XL ;).

Greetings from SAP consultant to SAP consultant ;)

Well, the feature hasn't made it into 1.0, but it will most certainly be part of the next one. Just follow issue https://github.com/Wunderfitz/harbour-piepmatz/issues/12 to check when it's done. Very interesting that this one is so important... ;)

Great ;) Thanks for the update and providing "Saved Search" support.
As promised in my previous comment I have donated XL now ;)

It is the best and most professional designed Sailfish app so far.

I would support an app like this if I actually had a Twitter account. But since I've never had one and never intend to get one, well... Bye.

I would think Piepmatz is a 'killer app' if saved search of my most favorite Twitter places are shown i.e. ”SailfishOS” or ”JollaHQ”. Have my financial support if this feature is included in future releases!

What exactly do you mean with "local instance thread"?

The "Local timeline" (only toots from the same instance contributors)

This is only for Twitter, not for Mastodon. Probably, you mean Tooter for Sailfish OS. This one is done by another author.
