Fun terminal-based Twitter client that fits TUI lovers
From 3 comments
Fantastic, I've been looking for a way to stop using Janetter for some time, and my love of TUIs means this is right up my alley!
chazu on HNI've had almost exactly this on my back-burner of "things that would be nice to write if nobody else does". Thanks!
GrinningFool on HNwow, that is awesome

Nicer than the web interface
From 1 comment
I think I'll actually give Twitter a shot now. This looks much more convenient than the web interface.

Requests
Show images as ASCII art in the terminal
From 2 comments
Feature request! Instead of a link to photos, there could be ASCII converted images, like with http://picascii.com/
moriara on HNYou mean when we type a "show image x" ? Would be an awesome feature :) If I can I will try to do the ascii magic directly on terminal first :)

fsiefken on HNI think t is rather like a Linux command, while Rainbow Stream is an app and focus on display and custom hashtag following with streaming API.
