e:strip.org Yahoo! Widget...

· · 🌡️ 54°F

Hey, in case anyone here uses the Yahoo! Widget Engine (yahoo widgets) , I've modified/cusomized an RSS reader widget for (e:strip).org.

"Widgets" are little applictions that run on your desktop and can do anything. I've seen cool calendar apps, little clocks, an awesome weather thingy, and RSS feed displays (like the one I'm posting for (e:strip)).

I posted it for download on my home page at estrip widget

The widget will display the 10 most recent posts from estrip.org and let you visit the posts by clicking on the titles.

(The widget should work with Konfabulator, too, since it's the same thing.)

Feel free to download, modify, and/or distribute the widget as you please.

Anyways, free (e:strip) nerd toy...
Enjoy!

    thanks that is great. I just built an in broswer surebert RSS reader I planned to release this wek but out of browser experience is fun too. in fact I almsot exclusively read the site via rss on my phone, which makes you think I would go in and change the inconsistences in the formatting. I prob will this weekend.

    will it work with the mac dashboard (which is essentially konfabulator?)

    I don't know if it'll work with the mac dashboard... it was designed for the "Yahoo Widget" engine, and should work on PC or mac (it's just javascript). I know the Yahoo widgets work on mac.

    If other Yahoo widgets work with dashboard, this one should, too. I'm very curious to find out if it does work with dashboard. (I don't have a mac, so I can't test that) So, let me know how it works for you.
