I'm getting a little better with Dashcode now, although not at the point past simple RSS feeds. I'd like to learn how to add configs to filter the feeds by tags, but I'm not quite there yet.

I've made a simple reader for PlanetSoC, which can be found here. Hopefully this will be useful to someone...please let me know if any suggestions/comments.

UPDATE: Dashcode doesn't show the author of posts by default it seems. Big thanks to KillerX for modifying the Widget so it now shows author names!

» OpenMRS Widget

I've just been playing with OS X's Dashcode beta, which is a preview of the Dashboard development IDE in Leopard. It's pretty cool, although a lot of very useful features aren't implemented yet, so you have to open up the Widget and manually change several things to customize your Widget.

As my first Widget, I created an RSS feed reader for the OpenMRS feed. If you're running OS 10.4.3+, you can grab the Widget here. I want to make this something that's actually useful to people, so if you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know.
