Twittia is a slim Twitter client for OS X written in mostly JavaScript. It doesn't implement much of Twitters functionality, only the things I care for.
Nice to know
There was a original Twittia 1 which was written in Ruby-Cocoa, it was quite ok back then, but the code was a mess. And then along came Tweetie and I lost the desire to write my own Twitter client, because it was so much further then twittia and looked nicer and so on.
But now Tweetie hasn't been updated for a really long time, and I really wanted to see retweets in my stream so I decided to rip out the look from Twittia 1 and implement it in a new much slimmer version.
And because Twitter offers a JSON API and Twittias rendering Engine is just a simple WebKit WebView I implemented the core functionality in JavaScript and am very happy with it.
