Woot, I also have a robot to contribute to this thread- [email protected]. (I guess we've all decided that gadgets development is simple enough to be done in wave, or atleast the small debugging gadgets).
You can see gadgitty in action here: https://wave.google.com/a/wavesandbox.com/#restored:search:with%253Agadgitty,restored:wave:wavesandbox.com!w%252Bja1pKz86C You put the XML in the blip, and each time you submit the blip, it outputs the gadget XML at a new (non-cached URL), and inserts a gadget with that URL at the bottom of the blip (deleting the gadget that was previously there). The advantage of this technique is that you can collaboratively edit the gadget. That sample wave is actually from a demo where I created the gadget from scratch while alternating between two different users and showing their waves update simultaneously. I will add Gadgitty to the samples gallery in a few weeks. - pamela On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 9:19 PM, eyalzh <[email protected]> wrote: > Nice job! > > I made a similar effort to develop some kind of an in-wave gadget > development playground for personal use, but not a full-blown IDE. > My bot stores the code on the appengine server and creates a dynamic python > script which fetches the code and outputs XML.
