Heads Up
A simple Heads Up display showing your calendar items for today, your unread emails and custom notes.
Download the OSX app or try the live demo.
Heads Up contains good examples of how to use:
Source
If you're browsing the source, the interesting files are:
Google keys
If you're running the app locally, or using Heroku, you'll first need to obtain a set of API keys from Google, as well as specify the correct redirect URLS:
Running locally
git clone git://github.com/maccman/headsup.git
cd headsup
bundle
rake db:setup
export GOOGLE_KEY=mykey GOOGLE_SECRET=mysecret
rails s thin
Deploying to Heroku
git clone git://github.com/maccman/headsup.git
cd headsup
heroku create myapp --stack cedar
heroku addons:add piggyback_ssl
heroku config:add GOOGLE_KEY=mykey GOOGLE_SECRET=mysecret
git push heroku master
heroku run rake db:setup
Building the app with MacGap
MacGap is a utility for wrapping up web apps with a WebKit wrapper, and exposing a basic OS integration API.
If you want to build the MacGap application, you'll first have to edit the redirect endpoint in ./macgap/index.html to point to your remote application, and then run:
rake macgap:build
