  • In the future, it might be possible to reduce this
  • There might be bugs
  • I intend to continue supporting TweetDuck on Windows 7/8/10/11, and I also intend to support TweetDuck on other operating systems when installed via Wine (but may need your help, especially if it doesn't run at all).
  • Please try it out, and report any issues to https://github.com/chylex/TweetDuck/issues. Include your operating system and version with your report.
