Best 10 Coolest Apps Made By Apollo

admin — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 22:01:20 +0000

Everyone is talking about Apollo, the platform from Adobe that puts rich web apps on the desktop. But the tech-talk means very little to the average user who simply wants to see some cool stuff. Luckily, there are developers out there working diligently on producing Apollo applications, some of which are already fully usable. To try them out, you first need to download and install the Apollo runtime, which can be downloaded from the official Apollo site.

As far as the actual applications go, most of them are either a heavy beta or a proof-of-concept, but some are already fully usable and quite fun. Without further ado, here are the ones we like, in no particular order:

1. Tweetr

For the Twitter () addicts, the 1000th incarnation of Twitter, this time in Apollo. It works on Mac, WinXP or Vista; and it enables you to receive and send tweets, but it occasionally stops updating, which is not nice. The novelty is mostly in a a cool 3D animation and the ability to change the font size.

www.tweet-r.com

2. The Mini Digg

Just like with Twitter, you can never have too many Digg ()-related gizmos. The Mini Digg is actually very cool, because of its tracker feature, which lets you see the statistics for Digg stories you choose, including the number of diggs and comments over time. The application has its limitations; for example, you can’t track popular items from a subcategory, but give it time, and it might become a great tool for all you Diggers out there.

3. DiggTop

While we’re on the subject of Digg, here’s another Apollo based Digg tool – DiggTop. It works on Windows and OS X and it shows you a blended list of your favorite Digg topics or keyword feeds. It also scrapes images from the linked article and displays a cute little slideshow. It’s done really well and has a lot of options; it may even be the best Apollo application we’ve seen so far.

www.gskinner.com/DiggTop/

4. YourMinis

YourMinis, one of the most popular widget platforms, was also one of the first to announce Apollo support. This means that you can now take any widget from YourMinis’ huge widget base and have it sit on your desktop. The possibilities here are endless, and if you’re a widget lover, this one is an absolute must. The installation is simple, once you have Apollo runtime installed, get the YourMinis air file at the link below. After that, simply browse the YourMinis widget gallery and when you find one you like, click “Copy to Desktop”.

blog.yourminis.com/2007/03/desktop_widgets.html

5. Fresh Reader

This one comes straight from Adobe. It’s a skinnable RSS reader built in AJAX and running on Apollo. A full featured RSS reader is not the simplest application to make, but this one fares quite well compared with similar web applications, although lack of options at this point will probably keep most users from becoming regulars.

6. DryerFox

From the completely-ridiculous department comes DryerFox, which is (author’s words) like Firefox (), but inside a dryer. There’s no sense in explaining it; suffice to say that it’s absolutely useless, but we just had to mention it.

olddougnewtricks.blogspot.com/2007/04/dryerfox-its-like-firefox-but-inside.html

7. Admetus

Admetus is a simple tool for finding and downloading Flickr () images in high resolution. It has a simiple interface which lets you download images with one click, and it automatically highlights the photos that you already have. The options are scarce (read: they don’t exist), and you can’t change the folder for saved images (it defaults to Desktop/Admetus/SEARCH_TAG/). However, despite the limitations, the actual application is quite useful.

www.uza.lt/applications/admetus/

8. FineTune Desktop

If you’re a FineTune user, you might want to check this cool tool from the developers of FineTune themselves: FineTune Desktop. It’s a desktop player which lets you access your playlists and favorite artists without having FineTune open in your browser. It’s one of the more polished Apollo applications, so if you’re into FineTune make sure to give it a try.

www.finetune.com/desktop/

9. Scout

Here’s one for the web developers, done by Adobe Labs. Load any website in Scout, and it will let you quickly browse through the source code, the CSS, JavaScript objects, images, or cookies present on the site. It’s basically a showcase of Apollo’s ability to inspect a page as it’s rendered on the client, but it’s also quite useful.

labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Apollo:Applications:Samples

10. FlexTube

If for some reason you’d like to watch YouTube () videos without actually having a web browser opened, you can do it with FlexTube. The application is in an early development stage (you have to login using test/test as username and password) and some of the options (like adding videos to favorites) don’t work, but the rest of it is fully functional.

Adobe AIR Apps That You Must Use For Better Productivity

admin — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 21:47:17 +0000

Adobe AIR () came along and changed the application world overnight. Developers could now use their web app knowledge and translate that to an application that ran on a PC, Mac or Linux () desktop. For users, such as myself, we all of the sudden had the ability to find desktop apps that we loved, and use them across all of our systems in the exact same way.

With this new age of “application neutrality,” I wanted to take a brief look into some Adobe AIR apps you have to at least try. Each one is focused on increasing an area of productivity.

1. Tackle Tweets With TweetDeck ()

For the business owner, blogger, or developer, Twitter has become a must-use tool to maintain a healthy network and customer base. TweetDeck is, in my opinion, the top of the line when it comes to Twitter interaction.

View your feed, all replies, trends, and even searches in just a single window! Another great feature of TweetDeck is the ability to sort your contacts into Groups. I have a group for work and a group for Madison, WI that keeps my peep-tracking on easy street.

Tip: Instead of using the standard reply section in TweetDeck, setup a search for variations of your username, full name, business name, etc. This allows you to capture ALL mentions to you! My reply search looks like this: @ielliott OR @ielliot OR “Elliott Kosmicki” OR “goodplum.com” OR “Good Plum.”

2. Stay Focused

If you’ve used WriteRoom for Mac, Q10 for PC, or PyRoom for Linux (all of which I use), you will more than likely find Focused of interest.

Focused allows you to write in fullscreen mode. This removes distractions while writing and is now the only way I write (as I am far too easily distracted). So instead of using a different program, depending on your platform, you can simply install Focused on Adobe AIR on each of your systems.

3. Time Tracking With Kronos

For those who use 37signals’ Basecamp product, you might want to take a look at Compuccino instead, as it integrates directly into your tasks there. For the rest of us who want a simple way to track time on projects, there’s Kronos.

Simply setup projects and start tracking how much time you’re spending on them! It’s a great way to either find out how you’re spending (a.k.a. wasting) your time, or just as a simple way to stay on task.

4. Moderate WordPress Comments With Moderator

This is an early but very delicious release. If you have a blog that receives a regular stream of comments, it’s always in your best interest to moderate them as often as possible (as well as reply and build relationships, of course).

Moderator allows you to do all this right from within an Adobe AIR program window. Know in advance you’ll also have to install a plugin on your WordPress () site for this to work, but it’s worth the few extra minutes of time spent!

5. Google Reader in ReadAir

I don’t know if Google Reader () needed improvement, but this Adobe AIR app called ReadAir has me hooked. Essentially, the application allows you to read your feeds in an email-like interface – I love having my reader open in a separate window anyway. The OSX-like theme is just icing on the cake (they’reworking on Windows themes, too).

6. Text Snips With Snippely

If you’re a programmer or writer that constantly re-uses bits of texts, this may interest you. Snippely allows you to categorize bits of text information that you can easily recall at any time.

The interface and organization of Snippely is awesome, I just wish they would allow two things: keyboard shortcuts to auto-enter a snippet, and some type of server-sync so I could access my snippets from any computer. Nevertheless, a great product.

7. Task Alerts With RTM Notifier

If you use Remember The Milk, RTM Notifier may be a handy add-on you’ve missed. It adds some basic functionality to your RTM workflow in a simple, small application you can leave open in your system tray.

Check it out, but as it did with me, it may leave you wanting more.

Note – Toodledo () users, there is also a very basic Adobe AIR app for you too. Check it out here.

There REALLY is a glaring hole in to-do apps for Adobe AIR. Anyone have anything planned you’d like to share?

8. Lifestreaming With AlertThingy 3

A late entry into my list comes AlertThingy 3. Version 1 was a FriendFeed ()-only application and I just never tried version 2. Version 3 integrates Facebook (), Twitter, Flickr (), Yammer, and many more tools I use daily into one interface. Similar to TweetDeck (#1 on this list), you can expand the program to see multiple lists of information such as your Twitter feed, a Twitter search, plus your Facebook news feed. You can update all of these services right from AlertThingy () as well.

I’m not sure if this will replace TweetDeck for me, but it really is nice to look at and seems to do much of what I need (except groups). Now if it could only add Digsby ()-styled instant messaging and run to Starbucks for me!

9. Google Analytics in Desktop Reporting

Please note, this is NOT yet released. However, the developer had previously released an Adobe AIR application to digest your Google Analytics () which is now unavailable. The success of that product has spawned an entire suite of new products, soon to be released.

Imagine having all your Google Analytics data sucked-in to an AIR app that will allow you to pick it apart and analyze it in all new refreshing ways.

If you’re interested (as I am), be sure to find out more at the Desktop Reporting site.
