Roughly three weeks after Tapbots' Mark Jardine teased the existence of a
Mac version of the popular iOS Twitter client Tweetbot, the application has
now launched to the public. But rather than coming as a final release,
Tapbots notes in a blog post that it is initially arriving as a public alpha.
We’ve decided to release it as a public alpha to a) motivate us to finish
faster, and b) get feedback to help us build the best Mac incarnation of
Tweetbot we can make. You can love it or hate it, but rest assured it will
only get much much better from here.
Tapbots has not yet decided on pricing for the final release version of
Tweetbot for Mac, but should "think of [the public alpha] as a long term
trial" available free of charge. The final version will be available via
the Mac App Store.
The early public alpha will undoubtedly contain a number of bugs and comes
with no official support, but users are encouraged to download the
application and submit feedback to help fix and improve the software. Some
features such as Notification Center and iCloud sync support do not function
in the public alpha due to Apple restricting such features to Mac App Store
apps, but they will be included in the final shipping version.
Tweetbot gained a loyal following with its iPhone app [App Store], released
in April of last year. Tweetbot made the jump to the larger screen with the
launch of an iPad version [App Store] in February of this year. Each of
the iOS apps is priced at $2.99. |
