HEXUS RSS Feeds Widget for Konfabulator

[Rys]

I spent this morning learning how to hack Konfabulator widgets then created an RSS feed grabber for the HEXUS feeds. It's based on the Games4Mac widget with some fixes specific to our own feeds and of course a HEXUS-themed UI.



You're free to try it out. Grab it here.

I've submitted it to the Widget Gallery for their perusal. If anyone's interested in hacking on future versions with me, I'll create a project up on CodeFactory along with a code repo.

Very nice, thanks Rys.

Gonna take a look at this after I have fiddled with the Skype API

Right click for configuration options as with all Konfabulator widgets. You can change items displayed and whether or not items are clickable if the feed doesn't work.

Click on the headers (need the Xs) to expand and collapse the sections.

I've added the current code to a repo at CodeFactory. You can anonymously check out the code from here using Subversion:

svn://svn.codefactory.org/hexus-rss/0.1

If you want to be able to commit code back, let me know in this thread and I'll add a user account for you.

For those looking to hack on the code, the Konfabulator reference guide is in the repo and HEXUS RSS Feeds.widget\Contents contains the main .kon and .js files.

You can just use the widget extractor widget to open them too.
