Loren Brichter

Loren Brichter (born November 15, 1984) is an American software developer who is best known for creating Tweetie and the pull-to-refresh interaction.

After atebits, his self-founded company, was bought by Twitter, Inc. in 2010, he developed a word game for iOS called Letterpress.

He is a son of contractor Gabor Brichter and real estate entrepreneur, restaurateur, and designer Christina Sidoti.

[2] Brichter was interested in Cocoa during high school[3] and learned C, Objective-C, as well as web programming from his teacher, Chris Lehmann.

Prior to his graduation, he had considered dropping out early due to a job offering from Apple at the beginning of his senior year.

[2] From 2006 to 2007, Brichter worked at Apple as part of a five-person team[4] responsible for making the iPhone's graphics hardware and software communicate.

From 2007 to 2010, Brichter founded his own company, Atebits, in 2007, and released a small drawing app for Mac known as Scribbles.

Brichter's current plans include advising a few companies and spending most of his time working on his own projects.

As a result, resizing, scaling, zooming, and exporting images at high resolution can all be done with no reduction in quality.

[10] Tweetie was launched in 2008, and it was created to fill the absence of an in-house Twitter app for the Apple iPhone platform.

In 2008, Brichter founded Borange with Mason Lee and Martin Turon while he was living in Berkeley, California.
