Tweetbot’s new optional expanded sidebar provides one-click access to all of your subsections like your lists, direct message conversations and saved searches.<\/p>\n

Columns have been rebuilt from the ground up to be far more accessible and customizable. Easily add\/remove columns, change the content of a column or reorder them.<\/p>\n

Automatically playback videos and GIFs in your timeline with a quick mouseover. A click on an image or video opens it up in our lightning fast new media viewer.<\/p>\n

Go easy on your eyes in low light situations with the new dark theme, one of the most highly requested features for Tweetbot. See how images and videos pop beautifully.<\/p>\n

Topics automatically chain together multiple Tweets to easily create tweetstorms or live blog events.<\/p>\n

Ever forget why you followed someone or wanted to jot notes about someone for future reference? Create notes on a user’s profile that only you can see.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

$10 is a small price to pay to keep supporting development of a quality native Twitter client, but I see this update as a bit of a design regression. It continues the<\/a> trend<\/a> of lowering the information density by adding a row of buttons to each tweet. This consumes a lot of vertical space and fills it with distracting widgets that I will never use—because I use the keyboard shortcuts.<\/p>\n\n

Annoyingly, it did not remember my accounts or preferences from Tweetbot 2. Do I have the Mac App Store to thank for requiring paid updates to have a different bundle identifier and thus a different sandbox container?<\/p>\n\n

Tweetbot for Mac 3.0.2 is out with the ability to hide the action buttons until you move your mouse over the Tweet. You can enable this in the settings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

Unlike Tweetbot 2, favorited tweets do not show the heart icon unless they are selected or moused over.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
