\"Corebird<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE 2024: Corebird is discontinued and does NOT WORKS ANYMORE!!<\/b><\/p>\n

Never heard of Corebird? It’s a native GTK+ Twitter client for Linux which has a modern and responsive design that looks kinda similar to the official Twitter app for Mac.<\/p>\n

Corebird is a free and open source project created by Timm B\u00e4der, AKA “baedert”. It carries the whole essential twitter features, such as Streaming of Tweets, Mentions\/Notifications, Favorites, Direct Messaging, Lists, Filters and an integrated search.<\/p>\n

With the advantage of the latest GTK+3 features, the application makes use of the new Header Bars. With the gstreamer and gstreamer plugins, corebird allows to view any videos (i.e. no vines and no twitter gifs).<\/p>\n

The application is well intergrated with with GNOME Desktop. It supports GNOME Shell Application Menu and displays the number of Twitter notifications on the lockscreen.<\/p>\n

Install Corebird in Ubuntu via PPA:<\/b><\/p>\n

I’ve successfully built this twitter client into my PPA<\/a>, available for Ubuntu 14.10 and Ubuntu 14.04.<\/p>\n

<\/i>
Corebird depends on gtk+3 (>= 3.12), so Ubuntu 14.04<\/b> user need to add GNOME3<\/b> and GNOME3 Staging PPA<\/b>. As the Staging PPA is for test use, it might break your system, use it at your own risk!!<\/div><\/div>\n

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team\/gnome3\r\n\r\nsudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team\/gnome3-staging<\/pre>\n
2. (For both Ubuntu 14.10 & 14.04) Add my PPA and install corebird:<\/p>\n
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntuhandbook1\/corebird\r\n\r\nsudo apt-get update\r\n\r\nsudo apt-get install corebird<\/pre>\n
