Summary
The old, not-terrible version of Silver Bird.
Tweet from your Chrome browser. Follow your favorite Twitters. Change the color of the icon ooo!
Enjoy.
May 7, 2019: Popup width was messing up, so I changed width to see what happens.
January 6, 2020: The API keys from the old, original extension expired. I created new ones. Also got rid of that annoying error message for DMs.
User reviews
I did a fresh install of windows, and now whenever I try to use this extension, it pops up an error saying
"Ouch... something bad happened to chome bird while calling Twitter's API. Request token response: "Application cannot perform write actions. Contact Twitter Platform Operations though https://help.twitter.com/forms/platform.
"()
This problem is probably due to incorrect date and time settings in your operating system. Please, review your settings and try again."
But all my date and time settings are right and set to automatic anyway. And I can't find any other means to fix this
This is what I've looking for, someone to keep supporting the old Silverbird. However, the fact that it still doesn't support 280 characters like the Silverbird M used to is disappointing and I hope it will be updated soon. Keep up the good work.
Is this extension not working anymore? It shows an error "could not authenticate" etc. My twitter account is up and fine. Not sure what is happening. I have used this extension for a long time. It is very useful.
EDIT 3/5/20
Thank you for fixing the problem!! It works again, thank God!
Inquiry please... desktop notification isn't working. When *saved* it actually returns to default 'notification on page'.
EDIT 6/30/20
Any chance to reach out the developer for a small personal, paid-for project? Best way to contact?
