Announcing Chalk - a new Twitter client

Last November I revealed that I was working on a Twitter client for Mac OS X and iPhone, then codenamed "TC" (Twitter Client). It's coming nearer to fruition now, and I have a final product name for it: "Chalk". I've been working hard on the art and style for the UI, and today I finalized the icon design. Like my other apps, I've kept it simple; it has a colour scheme reminiscent of the Twitter "fail whale", but more vibrant and lightning-y (to borrow a term from Pixar). Although it looks a bit more washed-out on the web here (due to the colour profile), believe me it looks awesome on the iPhone. I'm still working on the app user interface; I haven't finalized the design yet, and I'm experimenting between 'bubble' mode (a la Twinkle, or my previous blog post) and 'professional' mode, as seen below: I have only started the 'view tweet' mode, so for the time being I have just re-implemented it the way Tweetie (my favourite client!) does it, tweet-thread-following included, as those familiar with Tweetie will recognize. Please excuse its 'copycat' appearance while I redesign it: I'm trying not to pile on the features, instead making something that looks great and works well (it's lightning-fast too!), which means I'll also be able to finish it and share it with you as soon as possible!
