We have been spending a little spare time at New Leaders, learning Apple’s Dashcode to develop widgets for both Mac OS X and iPhone Apps. I decided to start with something simple, so I created a dashboard widget for the very popular social coding site GitHub. This will be a work in progress. As I learn more about Dashcode I will continue to add additional features to make it more useful. Initially, it just displays the commits from earlier this month.

design and deploy a widget using your services API. Widgets are a great way to extend your
service to the desktop of Mac users. Widgets are also a great way to promote your content
or an upcoming event. They are a quick and affordable way to add more value to your brand.
