Goals

Provide a twister web client that:

is #NoJS^TM - currently, it has no JS at all, which is a trivial case ;), but all pull-requests should work when JS is disabled. That's the only "rule".
Is simple enough for people to fork and try other front-ends or features (I have a few in mind. I'm sure you have others).

In short: it's a "twister-client constructor kit". Even if what you do doesn't get merged upstream, who says we should all run the same client? Diversity is fun.

Status

We're this close to the "read-only functionality milestone".

Roadmap

db instead of cache
Add "write" functionality (post, follow, etc.). Implement all [or most of] the functionality of standrd/calm client.
Additional features
Insert here stuff I've overlooked
Then we take Berlin

Dependencies

You also need tweaked versios of python-bitcoinrpc and functioncache but these are defined as git submodules, so install.sh takes care of them.

To install

Install dependencies mentioned above
Run ./install.sh to create cherrypy.config and appdir.py
Edit cherrypy.config (at least edit the user:pwd@ at rpc_url, but it's also recommended to uncomment and edit the browser_user and browser_password lines to enable basic authentication before someone develops a swizzler-specific trojan ;) )

To run

python swizzler.py
It should say ENGINE Serving on 127.0.0.1:7919 (or whatever host and port you've defined at cherrypy.conf)
Browse to that address
