This is my last beta update before I launch Twitterfall. If I write it down, it has to be true. I’ve been sat on this for too long, fearing upsetting people. It’s time to get a move on.

Twitterfall Beta will come out of beta in the next day or two. Here’s a final-ish set of changes I made since my last post:

• Geolocation works again (though it is as quirky as ever).
• It’s useable (sorta) on iPad again; I removed the viewport definition.
• Added Rollbar so I can track exceptions and errors.
• Made sure the URL saving/restoring process still works.
• Fixed a regression where the retweet text box has loads of blank spaces.
• Instagram previews work again; Instagram love to change their API.
• Render emoji using Twitter’s emoji library, so they work everywhere.
• Fixed some tweet text parsing problems.
• Tested in Internet Explorer.

Outstanding issues I’m saving for after launch, because it needs to go out the door.

• When performing a search, retweets of tweets you’ve seen are displayed, which is a little irritating.
• Reports of issues with avatars loading
• Show usernames as well as full names on retweets.
