We mentioned Lemma a few months ago when it launched as an opensource (GitHub) free Twitter client for the BlackBerry PlayBook by Sully Syed (@sullysyed) built on WebWorks. Since then it has been updated a few times with a major update to v1.1.x this month. Terry let me know that Lemma announced the update on their blog which details the new changes in this version. It uses the new bbUI.js toolkit released by RIM’s Tim Neil which gives it a nice performance boost and a complete makeover.
Here is the full change log for Lemma v1.1 (v1.1.2 is now in App World)
- All new interface: New colours, new icons, and far less cluttered
- Vastly improved scrolling performance for the timeline
- Smoother page transitions
- Improved Compose Tweet/Reply With Message interface (far less laggy)
- Added “View In App” functionality, powered by the Readability v0.4.4 algorithm
- A new user tutorial for those new to Lemma and its unique, list-based take on Twitter
You can pick up this new version of Lemma free in App World or check out the source code and more at www.lemmaforplaybook.com

Crashes everytime i try to authorize it. Good thing it was free, but still wasted my time.

Hi kiddo2050,
I worked on a fix for the crash bug last night, and a working version is now waiting for approval in BlackBerry App World. Give Lemma a try again if you get the chance when version 1.1.4 is available – that should solve the problem.

Okay – v1.1.5 of Lemma with a fix for the authorization bug is now available via BlackBerry App World. Hope that works better for you.

I am glad I am not the only one with the crashing issue. I loom forward to trying lemma.
