Snackr is a new Adobe AIR app that lets
you display items in your RSS feeds in a beautiful scrolling ticker on any
edge of your screen. I am absolutely giddy about it after only a few minutes
of use. Snackr is something you'd supplement your existing reader with, not a
replacement. It is not for the faint of heart or information averse, either.
If you've ever fantasized about having the river of news flow straight into
your brain, this is the closest I've seen yet. I've uploaded a small OPML file
of my top priority feeds, limited Snackr to displaying items from within the
last 5 days and am in heaven. Read on for screenshots and some critique.
Snackr was built by Narciso Jaramillo,
a long time Adobe developer.
Along with the opening of the SWF format, Adobe has also removed the licensing
fees it used to charge for the Flash Player.
What does that mean for us? It means Flash _everywhere_. It means you picked the
right platform to develop your skills on. It means Flash will be around for a
long, long time!
