Update: Apologies, everyone, it was in bad form of me to redistribute a Fluid-based app. Stay tuned for a tutorial on how you too can have your own Hahlo.app.
Hahlo.app
For several months now, I’ve been using
Hahlo.com as my portal to
Twitter on the iPhone. Sure, since then 2.0 has launched, and with it several viable native clients, but even still, none of them were an equal to Hahlo.
I started using a custom Fluid based app for loading Hahlo on my MacBook Pro, edging out all the other clients available. I’d tell people about this, but for the most part, when they’d finally break down and install Fluid, I’d then have to walk them through setting up Hahlo, which unfortunately, ended up looking like any other browser window and they’d miss the point.
I’ve set up a javascript that would, on launch, resize the window so the content area’s width would match that of the iPhone, I customized the chrome options, it has Growl notifications for new tweets, and finally after a few months of pestering him, Jim has created an installer for it all.
It’s Leopard only, does all the heavy lifting of setting up a Fluid app and sets you up with the proper viewport width. Enjoy.
