From perusing the visitor statistics of the christmas season, noted that “fingerpori widget” appeared often.
No such beast exists right now, and to scratch someone’s itch, I put together a simple web-scraper for just that purpose yesterday evening. The javascript-exercise is simply called “fingerpori” and able to show the current strip from Helsingin Sanomat.
While primitive, it does what is needed, and did not keel over during the night. But I’m seriously doubtful about the application logic (conveniently nicked from another widget), and will take a somewhat serious look at the basics before release 1.0 becomes reality. Also, have to figure out whether xcode packs a version control system, or does Lynch need to pick up subversion or something like that.
(A Yahoo! widget and a facebook application to follow. Don’t hold your breaths…)
