Windows 7 Gadget: Scratch

Hi, i am developing a Windows 7 Gadget for scratch, which i am wondering what you would like it to do.

Ideas:
~ New Comments Have you got any new comments on your projects?
~ Thread checker Set a thread for it to check for updates, and show when it updates
~ Project checker Check for when a user submits a new project (Can only check 1 user)
~ Are you online? Checks if a user of your choice is online

What do you think?  Got an idea?  Please, feedback!

Want to help?  Fill out this form:
Do you have experience in HTML, XML or CSS?
Which one/s?
Are you in any collaborations?
Have you participated in any collaborations?

Thanks.

Do you think any other features could be added?
Random project of the day, maybe?

Actually maybe there could be a Online/Offline tracker for just the Mainsite, and not just the forums?

So it would detect everyone online?  That would be a lot of people...
I suppose i could do it, but it might be laggy  hmm

Maybe you could enter a name and it could say if that user was on/offline....

Re: Windows 7 Gadget: Scratch

Hey ssss,

The API apparently doesn't have official documentation yet...and it's not really supported by the Scratch Team at this point either.  But if you want to take a look at the source code, it is here

http://trac.assembla.com/scratchr/brows … roller.php

You also might want to talk to ask in the Advanced Topics area to see who has experience using it (maybe JSO?) to see if they can give you any pointers.  Good luck!

Re: Windows 7 Gadget: Scratch

This would be really cool, especially the part that checks for messages and updates to specific threads. Maybe you could have a project checker for the "My friends' latest projects" section too, if possible?
