Choqok 1.6 has been in development for the past couple of months, during which the development team managed to add quite some improvements that make the open-source micro-blogging client a great alternative to existing products, such as Corebird and Birdie, both of which are written for GTK+-based desktops. Choqok is written entirely in Qt, which makes it perfect for desktop environments like KDE, LXQt, and even TDE (Trinity Desktop Environment), and the latest milestone, Choqok 1.6 Beta 2, has been successfully ported to KDE Frameworks 5, thus offering support for the latest KDE Plasma 5 desktop. Another major feature is initial support for the Friendica social network.
