I'm pulling the download for Faces.app for a while. Twitter has been having a lot of issues lately with their avatar uploading, both from the API and even the site itself. At several points it has been completely disabled from their end while they "fix" it, however the same issues seem to reoccur.
Until Twitter gets this more stable and I get oauth fully integrated, I can't continue to make Faces.app available.
I just released version 1.0 of GithubNotifier, a little menu-bar app I've been tinkering with for the past week or so. It uses your Github username and API token to check your repositories for any activity in your networks.
I built GithubNotifier mostly just to tinker with their API. I leveraged [CocoaREST][2] from Steven Degutis and added support for Github's API as I went. You can check those addtions on my fork here.
There are some caveats though. For starters, the network data API from Github doesn't show what branch a given commit was made to, so if I pushed an update to branch development, the API simply details the commit, but doesn't include which branch. When the Growl notifications are made, a click-back is created so that if a user clicks on the message your default browser will open to user/repo/commits, but if the commit was on a separate branch, you wont see it initially. You may have to look around in the branches to see more details on it.
I have a support request in to Github to include branch and owner information in the commit data returned in the network API call, but they may or may not choose to implement it.
You can checkout or fork the project here, patches are welcome.
At least you tried
The main branch of MGTwitterEngine has been updated to support Twitter's OAuth implementation, however it's geared for the iPhone/iPad. With some simple adjustments you can easily use it on the desktop. Instead of using jdg's OAuthConsumer root project, try my fork here, which replaces the custom hmac_sha1 implementation with standard CommonCrypto, which I pulled from roustem's fork.
In a future post I'll do a walkthrough of the basic setup, from cloning the repository, setting up the submodules, and getting a working example.
II'm finally releasing my first app, Faces.app, as a beta. Faces is an OS X desktop application that manages your profile picture across your Twitter account(s). After linking your account, Faces will pull down your current avatar and display it in the grid and from there you can add any image to the grid and upload them to your account(s) with a simple drag and drop.
Faces is a beta application and currently requires OS X 10.6 and an active Twitter account. The app will remain free for the 1.0 cycle and will remain in beta until I get OAuth implemented before the June cutoff for basic auth via Twitter's API.
You can download the latest here (ver 1.0b7). Download temporarily removed due to issues at Twitter with profile images, see this update
