Summa on OSX
Why yes, it is doable.
I’m not even sure we want to consider making a Cocoa# UI for it yet. ;)

About
I’m Will Farrington. Some of the projects I work on and/or admire include Banshee, Summa, and miscellanous personal things.
I’m also lucky enough to be a Student participating in Google Summer of Code 2008 for GNOME.

What is your theme looks nice!
@che: Uh, that’s the default Clearlooks with GNOME icon theme from 2.22. That’s actually OSX in the background.
You should try the gtk native port to quartz and the quartz-engine located at svn.gnome.org
Summa? What is it, a new feed reader? Google can’t find anything…
Hey, that’s me! My vanity requires that I now try your “Summa”. Any advantages currently over Liferea?
Hey, did they remove NewsKit from Google Code? I get “denied”.
From your summa repo:
1) autogen.sh doesn’t check for webkit-sharp 2) I get “Unhandled Exception: Mono.Data.SqliteClient.SqliteSyntaxException: unable to open database file”. Because in Database.cs the db stuff is hard-coded in a very unfriendly way.
Clearly I’m not supposed to be touching this yet. Doesn’t mean it will stop me…
Whoa this looks nice. Is that google code page supposed to be working? What’s the state of this app?
Summa isn’t ready for public use yet; among other thing, every path is hard-coded, the RSS parser doesn’t entirely work yet, and it tends to crash.
Now, if anyone wants to help with it, feel free to get in touch (senoki at gmail dot com). But even I’m not using it for replacing Liferea yet, and I’m the one writing it, so…
I did, however, just fix the problem you were seeing about the database being hardcoded, Sandy.
Too bad… but it looks great nevertheless. Would be nice to see a stable version of this at some point.
@Michael: Ideally we should have a 0.1 release in a couple of weeks or so. ;)
@Will: I will keep my eyes open! I was not able to get the current git working (had to change the hardcoded locations of weblit-sharp.dll, dbus-glib.dll and some epiphany icon) but the app crashed when I tried adding feeds. Anyway, looks very promising.
Michael: that should be fixed too.
But yeah. 0.1 will come soonish.
Introduce merged view, please (articles list + arcicle preview in one), and make it looks like planets (ie. planet GNOME) – that’s better use of space, less clutter and you can see what’s interesting without clicking every article.
Cool stuff!
Did you manage to get the help you wanted for GAPI?
