nobitter is a small twitter client to add end-to-end encryption within a group.
It is designed for twitter users who wants to share their status without worrying about information leaking.
A group must has a gateway twitter user. The gateway user follows all group members and all group members also follow the gateway user. Nobitter will automatically add @<gateway user name> at the beginning of all the update messages sent from it. Therefore, the message will reach to group members only, as far as the gateway user does not follow non-group-member twitter user. The message body that follows @<gateway user name> is encrypted with a secret key, which group members share. So, even the engineers in twitter.com cannot see what's being shared in the group.
