Piepmatz
Piepmatz says goodbye!
Unfortunately, the latest update didn't work for long. So both Piepmatz and the Jolla Twitter events view are no longer working. The situation is again as described in the last status update, but you'll have at least the chance to inject own Twitter API credentials via libsailfishkeyprovider if you are so bold to get a license for Twitter API v1.1 access.

There might be a bug in the Geocode code: Location is constantly running when Piepmatz is running (even while just looking the timeline), whereas I would expect Location to only kick in while writing a tweet and otherwise be unused to save on battery.

Seems like Twitter is updating its API to version 2: https://www.xatakamovil.com/aplicaciones/twitter-presenta-su-api-v2-para...

Great app, but you can add tweet likes in notifications? It not showed. Thanks

No, this is not possible. There is no API for third-party clients to retrieve them properly.

Is something wrong with the thread function of Piepmatz? None seem to be loading.

It's not the API, as there is no official one for threads. But version 1.6.1 should fix the issue...

Question: any idea why my Piepmatz is showing "Trends for Saint Petersburg", instead of the ones where I live and I've set my Twitter account, i.e. Helsinki, Finland?

Most certainly there are no trends for your region. Piepmatz then automatically selects the closest region ehich is available.

Further, clicking on Piepmatz does not open the link. Any advice would be appreciated.

You need to open this link with your browser as you need to complete the Twitter login process.

Why do I have to log in through the browser even though I paid for your app last year?

You log in to Twitter so that Piepmatz can complete the OAuth login flow. Without that, you can't use the Twitter platform. That has nothing to do with WerkWolf, moreover, the app is free of charge since several months.

Looks like a general issue with the package management on your device. Try pkcon refresh as root or use https://openrepos.net/content/velox/packrefresh. Try again after executing it.

Try using Mimer (https://openrepos.net/content/llelectronics/mimer) and reset the default for the browser. Afterwards, switch off and switch on the integration via the settings of Piepmatz again.

Hi, with v 1.5, the new option to integrate Piepmatz with the Twitter feed and open tweets has unfortunately meant that all links in an email or web page, are now opened by Piepmatz.

I already had a twitter account. How can I get a PIN to setup Piepmatz on my XA2?

Simply press the sign-in button in the app, wait for the browser to launch, enter your credentials in the browser and Twitter will give you a new PIN.

Had that myself after the 3.1 upgrade, others also reported that. Seems to be a general issue with the URL handler in SFOS, not Piepmatz-specific. Try Mimer https://openrepos.net/content/llelectronics/mimer, reset everything and restart. That fixed it for everybody so far.

Is it possible to tweak the system so that piepmatz get's opened when I press on a tweet in the event screen? Otherwise a very nice and well done app!
