I figure this is at least kind of appropriate for this group since the GUI's all done with Swixml. Anyway, I had this News Aggregator I wrote in Thinlet. But this past weekend I rewrote the whole thing from scratch using Swixml, Lucene, HSQLDB, and other goodness. I've been making basic improvements since then but, I'd like to get some beta testing in on this before I release it. If you're interested drop me an e-mail at masukomi at masukomi dot org. If I end up charging for this, which I might, beta testers get it for free. Yay. Features: • Small visual footprint. • You can save any entry permanently. • All entries are searchable. • Really simple to use. • Supports RSS, RDF, Atom, and more. Requirements: • must have java 1.4.x installed • must like reading news feeds • must be willing to make good constructive criticism (i.e. tell me what sucks about it and what you wish it did). If you're not going to give me real feedback don't test it. • must understand that the goal of this app is to be amazingly easy to use, and not take up much screen space. • must understand that this is beta software. If you don't know what beta software is don't test it • must be able to accept large attachments. Caterpillar is currently 9.4 Mb. The interface is small but there's a lot under the covers. ;) -Kate (masukomi) http://www.masukomi.org http://weblog.masukomi.org
