Upcoming Digg app for webOS: Digloo

Digloo is a Digg app for webOS. I've still got a few weeks left of development and testing, but I wanted to give you all a little taste of what it is so far. I'm pretty pleased with it, and I think a lot of you will be too! Follow @DiglooApp and @rmxdave on Twitter for more!

Pretty cool Dave. I'm very impressed.

Nice looking app! As a fellow developer, may I ask how you slide the contents of the scene to the left when new topic is selected? Is that webOS feature, CSS transformation or JavaScript animation? Thanks.

[rmxdave]

@TrueVitaly It's surprisingly simple. It's JS based but Palm has a built-in API for it. I'm just using Mojo.Animation.animateStyle (details are available on Palm's dev center) and moving the whole block of stories left and right :)

Excellent work. Good job showing off how nice the Pre is also. I'm glad you got the Email notification to show how unabtrusive they are. Your app really fits the clean & efficient Pre style. Just those changes you mentioned and you have a winner. I'll even pay for it! I'm not a fan of the colors as a set. The blue is a brighter tone than the other two. Add a tiny bit of the gold to the blue (it will gray it down just a bit) and the colors will feel more like a matched set. Thank you.

@SFHndymn Thanks! Actually the colors look a little weird on the video due to the lighting and my crappy camera. In actual practice they look much better, very similar to the colors on the Digg website. I'm planning on adding a couple of different themes because I myself have waffled back and forth on the color scheme. I'd say that'd be a version 1.2 feature or somewhere around there.

Just bought this app. It's great, faster than on my PC haha.

Thanks, Dave. I'll look it up. And good luck with your app!
