Non-Apple Sherlock 3 Channels?

Posted by Cliff on from the elementary-dear-watson dept.

AnamanFan queries: "I've been a bit curious about Sherlock 3 and the release of the Sherlock SDK. I wondered if there were any new channels out there, but my Googleing came up dry. There are a few nifty developer-related channels by Apple that feature an XPath Finder, as well as JavaScript, HTML, & XQuery interpreters, but I was wondering if anyone out there has made use of the SDK."

    massinova has a sherlock 3 channel. i believe it was the first non-apple sherlock 3 channel. it was created months ago when the first version of the sherlock 3 sdk was posted, before it was pulled. check out the massinova extras.

  2. SDK is terrible, that's why... by sammaffei · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It wouldn't have to do with the fact that the SDK is probably the most convoluted, kludged thing I've seen in years. XQuery and Javascript? To gag...

    Watson's Cocoa based SDK is much easier to code for.

    I mean it's so fun that Apple hasn't even provided us with new channels. Watson is constantly being improved upon and getting new tools.

    I highly suggest you go to the Apple Sherlock dev mailing list. You can find it at lists.apple.com

    As much as Slashdock is cool, it doesn't give you the ability to search Slashdot.
