Supported clients

We're working on implementing an API compatible with twitter's, so that we can use clients that let you change the domain to which it makes requests. We know we're not there yet-- see the remaining open issues!

Help test!

You can help us test clients! Here's how:

  1. Pick a client on this list, or find a new one and add it. Look for clients that say they support something like "changing the endpoint" or that support identi.ca or status.net.
  2. Install the client and try changing the endpoint URL to https://rstatus-staging.herokuapp.com/ (the API code isn't on the main rstat.us node yet).
  3. Try to log in and use it as you would any other twitter client.
  4. WHEN (not IF ;)) it doesn't work like you would expect, report what you tried and what happened instead. Provide as much detail as you can about both those things-- especially error messages. If there's an existing open issue for the client and action you're trying and you have different information, please add it to the existing issue. If you can't find one, make a new issue and report it there, we'll take care of it if it's a duplicate.
