Chrome/OAuth bug fixed

Dean — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 09:26:58 +0000

Spent last weekend reworking all the OAuth code in Hahlo in an attempt to solve the weird redirect bug that people were experiencing in Google Chrome and… it worked! I’ve just pushed the update live so hopefully all you people who were having trouble trying to use Hahlo in Chrome should now be able to [...]

Important Message

Dean — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 00:27:28 +0000

I’ve noticed a few ‘rogue’ tweets in the last day or two saying things “when Hahlo stops working” etc. Lets clear this up, right now. Hahlo 4.2 (the current, latest, and only supported version) will NOT stop working after Twitter turns off ‘basic authentication’ at the end of June. However, Hahlo 3.x (which I’ve kept available [...]

Hahlo 4.2 – Now iPad friendly

Dean — Mon, 31 May 2010 05:56:05 +0000

Not that it iPad friendly wasn’t before, in fact Hahlo ran perfectly fine on the iPad, but with that extra screen space available it would be silly to not make use of it, wouldn’t it? All up it isn’t a massive update, but some good bits and pieces have been thrown in. What’s New iPad specific changes Custom [...]

Merry Christmas, Hahlo 4.1 is my gift to you

Dean — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 10:42:13 +0000

I figured now was as good a time as any to push out the 4.1 update, even if I didn’t manage to get everything into it that I had originally hoped. The end of the year snuck up on me – I should have been paying more attention to that. I’ll add in the ‘missing’ [...]

Happy MediaTemple day (for yesterday)

Dean — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:36:55 +0000

Slipped my mind yesterday, was thinking about other things, but yesterday it was one year since the MediaTemple guys jumped in to help me out and help keep Hahlo alive and kicking after the ‘other’ host cut me off. MT were really helpful in getting things setup and moved across and since then its been pretty [...]

Who’s a pretty birdy

Dean — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:21:36 +0000

Just like Hahlo 4.1 he’s not quite finished, but I thought I’d show him off anyway. I’ve managed to go two and half years without creating a bird mascot/icon for Hahlo, and I had one planned for the release of v4, but just couldn’t get it to a point where I was happy with it. [...]

Early 4.1 mockups with lists!

Dean — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 04:52:30 +0000

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you should now be aware that Twitter has introduced lists, and most people seem to have access to them now. But, I hear you ask, when are they going to be available in Hahlo. Well, in 4.1 they will be, but there are a few other things that [...]

Nominate Hahlo in the 2009 Open Web Awards

Dean — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:16:08 +0000

It would be totally awesome if you could all nominate Hahlo in one (or both) of these two categories for Mashable’s 2009 Open Web Awards. Best Twitter app Best mobile based twitter app

Lists, ReTweets and GeoLocation

Dean — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 04:47:53 +0000

Just prior to Hahlo4 launching Twitter announced that they would be adding a new ReTweet API, as well as the ability to geo tag tweets. And this week they’ve announced that they’ll be adding “lists”, a concept which other twitter apps have implemented, usually calling the feature ‘groups’. I had started adding something similar to [...]

What happens if you can’t use OAuth?

Dean — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 06:24:40 +0000

Something I’ll admit didn’t even cross my mind until it was brought up by a beta tester about a month ago is that those who had been using Hahlo because twitter.com was blocked for one reason or another, now can’t really use Hahlo4 because it uses OAuth. And OAuth requires you to login at twitter.com, [...]
