Pre-release version: This project is still under active development.
TwitCutter helps to cut up a large body of text that exceeds Twitter's character limit(s). It can be used from the command line or with a graphical user interface.
Binaries have not yet been released (except one of the 3rd party libraries) and source files should be built with cl.exe
using current project settings.
To start up the application, simply run this line
./twitcut
The user will be prompted to provide the path to the file whose text is to be posted.
Using the application menu, open the file and view the text in the window--the displayed text is editable. When satisfied, navigate to the TwitCutter
menu and click on Generate
to create the chain of tweets from the text. This is also displayed in the window in an editable format. Then click on TwitCutter
> Post
to send the data to the Twitter feed.
The application supports text transfers using the Windows Clipboard (i.e. Cut-Copy-Paste) - such text should be pasted directly into the main window before processing it into tweets.
Access to Twitter's REST API is accomplished with BroVic's fork of swatkat's C++ library, twitcurl.
