Very Cool AIR App! Snippage

By scott

This has to be one of the coolest AIR apps I have seen to date. The simplicity of it is what makes it so appealing. Imagine turning anything you see on the web into a desktop widget.

 
That is what Snippage does, you can crop a web site and keep the cropped “snippet” on your desktop. Once it is cropped you can set a refresh increment and visually watch for changes. When you want to view the whole site again just click on it and the rest of the site is exposed. It’s missing a few features like custom refresh increments, the crop marquee doesn’t scroll with the page when you scroll and no force reload. But hey, it’s only a beta, it will only get better.

Snippet is created by one of the true pioneers of Flash work Gabocorp. Check out the snippet video and download the beta for yourself over at their site.

Still crash prone, but hey.. it\’s a beta right?
