Hungry Browser OS X Widget

September 15th, 2009

Following on from my tinkering with Dashcode at the weekend I thought I would try my hand at developing a simple widget for OS X dashboard. The widget simply takes the most recent posts from my website and feeds an excerpt in via RSS. Users can adjust the length of each article. Clicking on a headline takes the user to the respective article on my website.

Download the widget (you will need to be running a Mac with OS X 10.4.3 or higher).

Hungry Browser iPhone Web App

September 12th, 2009

I was tinkering around with the Apple iPhone SDK this morning and after a few hours of fiddling I decided to use Dashcode to create a little iPhone Web App. The app simply delivers the most recent 10 posts from this website and formats them into a list. Clicking on an item previews the post. Subsequently clicking on the “read more” button sends the user to the respective post (in full) on www.hungrybrowser.co.uk.

It isn’t going to set the world alight, but it is a start. If you have an iphone and want to follow the content on this site (and don’t want to keep on loading the full site), then simply click on the icon below to go to the iphone Web App version at: www.hungrybrowser.co.uk/benellis/iphone/

Enjoy!
