#PreMeFi#
A MetaFilter reader for Palm's WebOS
Abstract
} MetaFilter. The eloquent zeitgeist. A site worth reading, a forum with participation. I would read this site on the bus, and I would feel great pleasure.
A news application, a low-hanging opportunity. A cheat, too; why stumble over parsing RSS when the canonical Mitch Allen tutorial leads me by my fat babied fist?
A first WebOS application. Far from complete. My fear is not that you could improve upon it; that is almost certain. My fear is that you'll show me how much easier you could do so. ... But I have my ethics. I present this in GPL. {
Requirements
The Palm Mojo SDK, available here. While this should theoretically run on any version of WebOS, it was developed on version 1.4.5
One can install this software on either a real device or the virtual imagine included in the development kit.
Installation
Two options:
- Download from source tree and using
palm-packagefrom the SDK, generate an .ipk to install viapalm-install. See SDK documentation for additional details. - Alternatively, download pre-generated package [here]
