Introducing “endo”
I'm very pleased to release a new app called “endo” to the public (as of Monday 6th, 2006). It's yet another aggregator for the Mac OS X, but this one differs from the others in that it approaches feed reading a bit differently. endo sees feeds as a continuous stream of information that can be filtered and grouped as you see fit. endo even has a special groups bar — in which groups can be displayed as customizable icons or text — for easy group navigation using mouse or keyboard (you can even type the first few letters of a group name and endo will jump right to it). Keyboard navigation is omnipresent. There is even a uniform scrolling mode: Press the down arrow to read articles, it will scroll the article's content as well, and then skip to the next when the end of the article has been reached. Give that mouse a little break.
Take a look at the info page and the screenshots or just download endo and give it a whirl. endo has documentation built into it, accessible via the Help menu.
endo is only available for 10.4, since it uses a lot of new features that Apple introduced in 10.4. That doesn't just include Spotlight, but many under-the-hood changes made by Apple.
This website will soon have sections for plugins, styles, and group icons. In the meantime, you can send your creations to adriaan at infinite-sushi.com. Documentation for writing plugins is forthcoming. A how-to on creating a custom style is included in the download and in endo's Help book.
If you have questions, suggestions, or bug-reports, please use the contact form. I hope you'll like endo!
