[REBOL] Widgets

From: john_kenyon::mlc::com::au at: 16-Dec-2005 17:34

Hi all, OS X provides pop up user utilities called widgets which reside in a dashboard (see http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dashboard/) Yahoo! have recently released a similar widget system for both Windows and OS X (see http://widget.yahoo.com/) Both of these products are rather slow, memory intensive and complex to develop for. It would be fairly trivial to write a similar tool in rebol which may open up the language to a number of new developers. Common widgets available perform lookups on web sites and present the information in a clean customised format. This type of "screen scraping" is already a strong area for rebol. What does everyone think to this idea? Cheers, John ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
