10.4 Widget Site Opens Doors

Posted by timothy on from the or-at-least-pages dept.

sammykrupa writes "My new venture has just opened its doors. Dashboard Lineup is a site where developers can talk about the OS X Tiger widgets they are developing and and tips and tricks can be exchanged. There are also discussions about ideas for widgets. It's also worth mentioning that if you are a developer you can use the free hosting for widgets I have set up."

    And why no thinly veiled advertisement for Automator Sites? :)

    Floating clocks and weather forcasts? WTF?

    Is Dashboard/Kornfabulator really anything more than a pretty toy?

    For you, at this point, perhaps not. Stock quotes and realtime airline flight tracking are also commonly mentioned as Dashboard uses, as are currency converters, calculators, webcam monitors, whatnot. I suspect that many people will find one or more of these quite useful; if you don't then that's fine: don't use them.

    Personally like the notion of having a hide-able layer; others may prefer a 3rd party solution to do virtual desktops in OS X to contain these minor items - something that I personally don't care for. Dashboard is just another option; take it or leave it.
