389

There have been a lot of additions and updates lately at the SharpToolbox. The counter is now at 389 tools and libraries. Many additions are still in the pipe. Maybe it's time you subscribe to the RSS feeds to know when new tools are added or old ones are updated...

Note: The data on the SharpToolbox doesn't change many times a day. If you use some RSS reader software, setting the refresh interval to 1 day should be enough.

  • Any chance you could change your RSS template so that a description is included with each item?

  • This is how it was in the very beginning, but I removed it because all the items in the RSS feeds where considered updated when I was still working on the design of the site. This is because I was using the same XSLT template (and layout) for the web site and for the RSS feeds.



    This would not really be a problem now, and I could just add the description without any layout.

    But I think I prefer the complete page to be displayed when you click on an item in your RSS aggregator. I can give two reasons:

    - the XSLT for the RSS feeds is kept very simple

    - people coming to the site bring in some revenue thanks to the advertising on the site.

  • Just the brief description would be good; it lets me see what the add-in is and then I can decide if I want to find out more.

  • I'll think about it.

    Wouldn't your aggregator display the web page if there is no description? This is very useful.

  • My aggregator (Desktop Sidebar) displays the post title in its list and then provides the Title, Description and PermaLink in a tooltip-style popup.



    I can configure it to display the full web page instead, but this is considerably slower and often not particularly useful given the size of the tooltip-style popup.

  • You should now see the description in your aggregator ;-)
