Netvibes now supports dynamic themes

Back in september 2008, we introduced a way for users to make their own theme, through a Theme API built to be compatible with iGoogle’s. At that time, we wrote that while we supported most of the features of the original format (and a few of our own), we couldn’t technically support dynamic themes. We’re [...]

Kludget supports UWA widgets

Having a widget format that can be exported to any of the major widget platform sure helps adoption of our massive collection of widgets. UWA adoption is even further helped when developers implement one of the supported format into their own project.
That’s exactly what happened last month with Kludgets. Kludgets (short for “Klumsy, Lame, Ugly, [...]

Lest we forget…

Publication stopped on this blog a (too long) while ago, without further ado. In the same manner, it’s back again!
Well, ado there needs to be: let it be known, good people and dearest subscribers, that my time away from the blog has not been in vain, only that I was diverted by other projects which [...]

Expanding and consolidating

It’s been a while since we gave you on update on UWA itself. You might think we either have too few to report, or would rather keep things under the radar until it’s the right time to talk about it. It’s actually much simpler: we’ve been busy.
Busy with improving your experience with UWA, that is! [...]

UWA now supports the OpenSocial API

We’ve been waiting a long time to unveil this new improvement to our widget platform, and this week’s edition of the LeWeb conference in Paris was the perfect occasion to release a handful of good news concerning Netvibes, including this little nugget:
UWA developers can now make their widgets social through the powers of the OpenSocial [...]

Create your own Netvibes theme

Good news for Netvibes users: they now have a hundred more themes to choose from when deciding on their pages appearance. And this good news comes along with a probably even better one for both designers and developers: you can create your own Netvibes themes, and import themes from other theme-creators. This means that the Netvibes [...]

Sharing (widgets) is caring

We’ve long said, and proved, that UWA works on all major widget platforms – you know the drill: Netvibes, Apple Dashboard, iGoogle, Opera, Vista, Live.com… But there is one more that deserves to be as well known: blog export.
The ability to work on blogs, and for that matter on any website,  has always been part [...]

Release of the UWA specification working draft

Simply put: it’s out! Go check it out, along with the brand new /specs/ page on netvibes.org!

This specification is one important that we’ve meant to add to our .org website for a long time. Netvibes.org started as a repository for all our open-sourced code, among which the whole UWA code: its JavaScript Runtime and PHP [...]

Harnessing the Activities Timeline

You might not have noticed it, but in addition to completely revamping our Ecosystem (you didn’t know? check it out!), we’ve been silently adding new functionalities here and there, for developers to play with.
One of these “toys” is the expanded Timeline Search. As a Netvibes user, you must know about the User Timeline, where a [...]

New developers tools: Netvibes Platform and the UWA-Iframe method

It’s been a few days since our cool Developers Meetup in Paris, where we announced a bunch of new releases that are of importance mostly to you, dear developers!
A proper blogpost has already been published, summing up these releases, and most importantly the new netvibes.org website. You’ll find a lot of information over there, but keep [...]
