Onosendai - A Better Deck

A multi-column social network client.

Onosendai Phone and Tablet UI

Features

  • Multiple accounts.
  • Timelines, mentions, lists and searches can all be columns.
  • Adaptive layout: tablets show multiple columns at once.
  • De-duplicate: filter the items in one column out of another.
  • Read Later column: any tweet can be saved locally for reading later.
  • Background feed fetching and caching.
  • Inline image previews (currently only for twimg.com but others on the TODO list).

Supported Services

  • Twitter columns are supported directly (bring your own API key).
  • Twitter and Facebook columns via SuccessWhale.
  • Posting to Buffer.

Download

Currently there are no 'official' releases of Onosendai. Recent snapshot builds can be downloaded from http://karasu.vaguehope.com/onosendai.

Advanced Configuration

Advanced configuration (not using the UI) is available. This is via the deck.conf file that lives in the root of the external storage device, typically /sdcard/deck.conf. If this file does not exist a template can be created by the welcome screen for you to edit.

Example config

Note: This is to show what possible. It is not necessarily a good example of what you should put in your config. Just saying.

Account IDs and Feed IDs: These are used to separate data in the DB. The are arbitrary and do not have to be in order. If you remove an account or column it may be best not to reuse the ID as strange things may happen.

SuccessWhale feeds: Refer to SuccessWhale docs for the format of the 'resource' field.
