New Growl Extras, part 1
So lately I keep hearing rumors that Apple is making a Growl clone of some kind (I wish someone at apple could just email me and confirm/deny it, that'd make things easier).
So with that in mind, we're starting to branch out our development efforts some, so that the Growl Project may remain somewhat relevant after Apple does this. If Apple ships a Growl clone, we can assume that GrowlTunes and GrowlMail are most certainly going to be pointless, but who knows what else they will add, ya know?
Anyhow, so what I've been doing is contacting developers of BSD licensed projects, to see if they would like to work with us. So far 3 applications have done this. First Rawr-Jour, then Feed, and finally Gmail+Growl. All great apps. The benefit to the Growl Project is that we get a semi to fully completed application immediately, and the developer gets the full resources of the Growl Project. Seems like a fair trade to me.
So without further ado, here is the first of a 3 part series in which I will be showing off some screenshots of the new Extras. Here is Feed (because it's alphabetically first!):
Please not that it's not done, but the idea is to have a minimal client. We don't want to remake NetNewsWire or any of the other clients though, this is pretty minimal.
