URL schemes in SimplyTweet 3

This is more for other developers that want to integrate with SimplyTweet. With SimplyTweet 3.x (existing App store version), I have extended the support URL schemes.

The following opens the 3 respective timelines.

  • simplytweet:?timeline=friends
  • simplytweet:?timeline=mentions
  • simplytweet:?timeline=directmessages

Start composing a direct message to recipient:

  • simplytweet:?dm={recipient name}

The original URL scheme which opens a new draft is also extended:

  • simplytweet:?link={URL}&text={text}

URL and text are both optional. URLs longer than 25 characters are automatically shortened.

Note that if the link is to a Twitter account, it will be opened directly in SimplyTweet, if the link is to a tweet, conversation view will be opened.
