Pino 0.1.0 Released

Linux Twitter application 'Pino' may be a relative new-comer to the desktop, but today saw it's first stable release.

We reviewed Pino a few weeks ago and were left suitably impressed. The development since then has been border-line breakneck and this first release proper comes mere weeks after the initial Alpha version was release.


Pino’s features include: -

  • Timeline. 
  • Mentions. 
  • Custom interval for data updating. 
  • Creating new tweets and replying to users from your timeline. 
  • Hiding menu and panels. 
  • Tray icon. 
  • Showing retweets in timeline (author of tweet and who retweeted). 
  • Default Gnome notifications of new tweets. 
  • Keeping unread tweets until the main window is not focused. 
  • Deleting your own tweets. 

New Icon
Sadly Pino has traded out its gorgeous monochromatic ‘t’ icon for something resembling a donkey in a dress (!?)

Download/Install

Pino has a PPA for easy installation and helps you keep up with updates.

This can be added by opening a terminal and pasting the following: -

  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:troorl/pino

Alternatively you may just wish to install it using a .deb.
 32bit / 64bit

Note that if you already have Pino installed (i.e. any version before today’s final version) you will need to remove it and then install the latest version.

    I’m sticking to the web interface until some app comes up with lists.

    Yet, is the retweet function in Pino the built-in one or it still adds the RT in front of the old tweet?

    It’s “add-apt-repository”, not “apt-add-repository” ;)

    This has potential as I don’t like the way Gwibber is going. However, I’m not getting any avatars. Any ideas?

      same problem here – I think the “round corners” option doesn’t go with metacity.
      just disable the round corners – under compiz there is no problem

    NICE! This is going probably to be replacing gwibber for me.
