twister.el

An interface from Emacs to the twister microblogging application.

The purpose of this package is to augment other twister clients. Emacs is an editor and, even when using other clients for twister, people may want to post their messages using their editor.

While a view of timelines and follow/unfollow logic may be supported by this client in time, the focus is on making posting and replying as enjoyable as possible from an Emacs perspective.

Dependencies

This library uses https://github.com/skeeto/elisp-json-rpc to issue json rpc commands to the twister daemon. Make sure it is reachable by your emacs load-path.
