After four days, we’ve launched our first mobile widget: Twiggy. In case you haven’t been following the progress, we teamed up with Betavine to spread the word about the niftiness of mobile widgets. We thought the best way to demonstrate that was to build a simple mobile widget to show you all how it’s done.
Hopefully we’ve given you a bit more ammo to build kickass ideas for your clients and web apps! We’ve open-sourced the whole project, so please feel free to download and hack away :)
A huge thank you to @mikekus and @elliottkember for all their hard work – you guys rock.
As you know, we’ve been working on building a mobile widget this week, called Twiggy. She’s coming along very well – so well in fact, that we’re ready to release a beta. Feel free to download it now. Love to hear your feedback!
Elliott has created an 8-minute video that explains how mobile widgets work, from a technical perspective (see below). Hope you enjoy it.
