A simple PHP/XHTML/CSS-based tool to display newest tweets from you and your friends on full screen!
Tweetscreen is a project in an early production state, that aims to deliciously display tweets relevant for you, in a simple design on a seperate screen of any size. The functionality is equally elementary; it refreshes the tweets at an interval that you specify, and displays the newest one on the screen.
Tweetscreen is a couple of files you need to run on a webserver, and then display the result on a screen in a full screen browser. The upside of this, however, is that the application is styled with CSS, and you can add your own CSS file to customize the design exactly the way you want. Tweetscreen is incredibly customizable.
Since the app is in an alpha state, there’s a lot of shortcomings and features yet to arrive. But give it a spin and see if you like it!
Installing
- Download the zip file found below, and put the extracted folder on either a local or remote web server with PHP5 and cURL support.
- Change values in the
config.phpfile accordingly. (for instance, you’d probably want a larger text size if you have a larger screen) - Access the folder in a full-screen web browser and enjoy! Full-screen web browsers include Firefox with a full screen plugin for Windows or Linux, or Plainview for Mac.
version 0.1 alpha
Remember: Since this software only displays the one newest tweet at a set interval, it may very well skip some tweets and is thus not a replacement for a “real” Twitter client application.
