I don't think ttytter is true abandonware. Though the website and version number haven't been bumped since 2012, I have noticed a few small changes as reclently as 2014 (since I keep a copy in git).

As for fixing things, can't beat the simplicity of a one-file perl impl! Do you have an example of how retweets are broken? I haven't noticed, but it sounds like you need to be following someone using some special feature for RTs?
