Topic: Widget generation

Is there a way that someone (I could if I figure it out) could build a web app for generation of RSS based widgets. I think that this would bring a lot of widgets into the guide because people wouldnt have to have Flash to design them.

EDIT: Maybe something like this could help...

FreeMovie is an SWF generator library written in PHP and ported to Ruby. FreeMovie can be used to develop Web and desktop aplications.

You could do that pretty readily with Ming, which has bindings for PHP, Perl, Ruby, etc, and is designed for pretty much this exact purpose.

Thanks Duane. Im gonna start building something later. If its good will Chumby support it and make it official?

It's hard to say - let us know when you're done and we'll take a look at it.
