Revamped QML ‘Gwibber’ Shown Off

Ahh Gwibber… 

Ubuntu’s default social client has been around for many years but depsite various revamps, UI changes, and re-writes it’s never quite shaken off the image of being slow, bloated, and unstable.

Hoping to change that perception – which hasn’t always been warranted – is a brand a new version of Gwibber rewritten in QML and making uses of a totally revamped backend called ‘Friends’.

Gwibber QML is still a sort of work in progress, so don’t judge it too harshly yet. But you won’t have to wait long until you can try it ou as Ken VanDine, the chief developer of Gwibber, is hoping to upload this shiny new version to Ubuntu 13.04 later this week…
