Surfbird Description
Twitter web app sports a very pragmatic and not-that-customizable interface. Having said that, you might want to manage your Twitter social media activity from a less-distracting or even more modern environments.
Surfbird is an Electron-based Twitter client that allows you to view your Twitter feed, as well as send Tweets or direct messages.
Simplistic Twitter client that can be launched in practically no time
You can get Surfbird up and running in just a couple of seconds by simply downloading its archive, unzipping the package and launching it via its designated executable file.
As expected, you are required to provide the application with your official Twitter username and password in order to log in. Right off the bat, it becomes evident that this is by no means a full-featured piece of software.
Bare-bones user interface
The main window is split into four main sections, the “Tweet” panel on the extreme left and, following on the right, you get three more panels, named Home, Interactions, and Direct Messages.
Besides allowing you to tweet and send direct messages, the application also makes it possible for you to like, repost and mark tweets as read. Furthermore, you can also reply to tweets. You also get to filter the hidden tweets by clicking the sprocket shaped button.
Stripped-down Twitter client
From the Settings section, you can change the app’s theme, as well as the default sound, provided that you take the time to add some in their respective folders.
All in all, Surfbird is a non-pretentious app that only offers you the basic functionality and features of Twitter. While it will surely not be enough for some, others might want to try it out based on the fact that it offers a distraction-free environment and not much else.
