Twitulater is so Useful, why does it have to be so Ugly?

Twitulater is one of the smartest Twitter clients I've tested. It actually looks like an RSS reader so it's very easy to understand. The application is automatically splitting the tweet-stream into different categories based on content rather than whom the messages are from. The basic categories are: Replies, Link sharing, Questions, Happy, Sad, Chatter, ReTweets, My Tweets, All Tweets, Spam, and another category is automatically created for every hashtag found.

There are some important features in Twiturlater, such as: the automatic hashtag recognition, and multiple simultaneous user support, but the most amazing part was to see how it splits messages based on content - in real time.

However, this AIR client has some serious design problems that should be fixed real soon, because no doubt it will prevent people from using it. That will be sad though, because it's a damn fine client.

Twitulater creator here.

I'm glad you like what the client does even if you don't like how it looks. As it is I'm not a designer, but a developer and so I'm constantly making incremental adjustments to the interface and making it prettier with every successive version, based mostly on user feedback.

There will be a new version in about two weeks, hope it will be more satisfying.

PS: I notice the logo is missing in your screenshot. Most odd, thanks for finding the bug :)

I really like it. And I actually don't think the design is THAT bad.
I mean, it's not amazing, but the usability is very good so that's good enough for me...

I really like it, the design is quite similar to Tweetdeck. The features are good especially the one for hashtag.
