Remember the Milk using Adobe Air
I’m a list junkie and Remember the Milk is where I get the hit…
If you ‘re the same you can download a simple Adobe Air application I put together with the Remember The Milk website inserted in an iframe. Plus a little extra.
Why bother
Doing web development work my browsers and WinXP taskbar can get messy. In a typical setup, I’ll have Firefox running(with several tabs), Internet Explorer 7, possibly 6 too, an IDE EG Aptana Studio or Editplus, probably a few explorer folders and 4 console windows too.
Yes messy I know.
Now you can imagine what that taskbar looks like, and in the midst of this boiling cauldron, in a Firefox tab will lurk http://www.rememberthemilk.com/. It can be a pain to find it.
Wouldn’t it be great if I could keep the http://www.rememberthemilk.com/ seperate from the rest of the Firefox tabs? Perhaps with a distinctive easy to locate icon too.
Ideally I would have http://www.rememberthemilk.com/ running in system tray, not visible in the taskbar and it would disappear back to the system tray when I minimise it, waiting ready to be restored again at short notice…. if only…..
Da Ding!!
BTW the systemtray feature is WinXP only. Perhaps a dock version will appear shortly

Hoping to find a air app but the link is not working anymore

Working fine for me!
Strange. I have Air version 1.0 installed. Do you have Air installed prior to downloading the air app, or during the install process?
This might help to determine where the problem is..
Thanks

I tried clicking on the link and got a 404 error. Can someone see if there is an updated link?

Hang on, my mistake. The above Adobe Air app does not work with the latest Adobe Air Runtime. I’ll update the app when I get the chance.
Thanks for the feedback.

Just curious if you had any time frame on getting it updated to AIR 1.0?

Hello Jamie any chance of you releasing the source code for the RTM Air app?
Also are you on twitter?
Thanks
I’m @waynesutton on twitter & would like to Remember my milk .

The app doesn’t work now. The message I get is “is for a version of Adobe Air that isn’t supported. Unable to install.”
Any chance of updating it?

Hello it seems you’re a little busy, any chance on making your AIR app open source?
Thanks

Any news on this project? If you’re not going to update the AIR app, can I get the source code so I can have someone update the app?
thanks

bump. Umm, I’m an RTM fan too - and love Adobe Air apps (like HULU and Doomi) - My air version is too advanced for this app apparently - any chance of a fix?

Hi, Thanks for all the interest. So much has been happening in my life lately I was unable to find the time to commit to this. It’s updated now. It’s very simple though, as the post above explains. Anyway good luck with it. BTW if you want to look at the code you can download the file, change the extension to .zip instead of .air and extract it as zip your normal way.
Good luck.
