Google Reader client NewsFlow v1.4 for Symbian and Maemo

Posted on Saturday, April 23, 2011 by Tommi Laukkanen

Good way to start Easter holidays is to write few lines of Qt/QML/JavaScript. Now I spent some time with the NewsFlow app, which is a Google Reader client for Symbian, Maemo and MeeGo devices.

I was now able to add theme support to app by using single Theme QML object and chaning the properties dynamically in JavaScript. All UI components would then use the theme object’s properties for colors.

NewsFlow now supports light and dark themes

Other features in the release:

Show read items in list in lighter color
Share to Facebook/Twitter
Mark as unread is now working
Minimize on N900 by tapping top left corner

MeeGo Summit FI Timetable for WeTab

Posted on Thursday, April 14, 2011 by Tommi Laukkanen

I case you are bringing your tablet to the MeeGo Summit FI tomorrow you can try running the binary I just compiled for WeTab from the original QML Timetable app. It’s just the executable and QML files so you’ll need to launch that from the terminal.

Download it here.

Kasvopus 0.9.4 with photo albums support

Posted on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 by Tommi Laukkanen

Few days ago I created a small poll on what features would you like to see in next version of Kasvopus, the Facebook client for Maemo, MeeGo and Symbian. There were hundreds of votes and these are the results:

So based on this I made a small changes to Kasvopus and now you are able to go easily to your friends wall directly from the status view and on the wall view you can write a comment on your friend’s wall or browse their photo albums. Please note that some users might have blocked photos from 3rd party apps even they are shown to you on Facebook page. From the albums list you can browse album thumbnails and photos. You can also like or comment individual photos.

Here is a small demonstration of albums feature in Kasvopus:
