Thanks for your feedback.

This is a sensitive issue. That’s how I imagined it at first, the + button would make a tidy little form slide down, the UX was ultimate.

However, doing so raised a major security flaw. Everytime you press the Ostrich’s head in your toolbar, Ostrich is appended to the current page you’re visiting. Therefore, the webpage has access to that data. Having access to your tweets isn’t too much of a security problem though, everyone has that access (unless your tweets are protected).

If the form was inline, any malicious website could detect it and post tweets in your name. This is unacceptable and that’s why it was removed. I used the popup window solution because it was the only one that worked in terms of security, the app almost didn’t get out because of that problem.

I’m still pondering on solutions to that problem, because it’s a User Experience problem and I have those at heart. I’m also attempting to make the loading faster. Usually when it’s loaded once, it shouldn’t be a problem.

I’m placing this “planned”, I am aware of the situation and it’s in my plans to make it better.

Thank you.
