Right. I've written a widgetty interface to my N97 freeware site.
And in a stroke of sarcasm, I've named it Davi...
You can view all the freeware in a list, with rating and tags, then click through for details and a download link.
You can get it from www.davecozens.com/n97/Davi.wgz
Coming later - search...
Feedback appreciated...

love it ..... "Davi Store"
😊
Couldn't help myself...
That's class, thanks! 😊
Right. new version, now with auto update notification...
As ever, get it at www.davecozens.com/n97/davi.wgz
Thanks Dave - I love your site (as others have said before, I go there before OVI) and this widget makes it even more accessible.
One minor improvement for me on the widget would be to have 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons replicated at the bottom of the page rather than having to scroll back up to the top each time.
Keep up the good work!:icon14:
It's one of the next things on my list. That and search...
But it'll tell you when there's an update now...

Because I'm naughty I'm bumping this thread cos I want some more feedback...
hehehe
Tut tut tut - thread bumping 😊 Maybe the admin will let you off this time.
I'm going to check this client out later and provide some more constructive feedback - but good work - great to see this sort of thing. And the name made me smile 😊
I just installed it. Excellent work :icon14:
Had a quick play - worked fine for me.
Might be nice if you used the softkeys (especially a back on the item view page), but not really fair to comment on style etc as this is a first version.
Nokia have a mobile template on Forum Nokia that can make things look nice wrt to mobile sites and widgets. Might be worth a look?
From a technical view point I like the fact you preloaded all the data.
i quite like the design there so i might make a few channges, but having worked with the wrt api i'm reluctant to work with any nokia javascript library.
The precache does make it very fast doesn't it...
Fair enough on Nokia stuff. If you want to take a look its here. I used them on ovigaming.mobi.
The design works well as it is, though I find the margin round the outside slightly out-of place.
And yes pre-cache nice. Doesn't scale, but I dont suppose the catalog will ever be that vast (certainly was quick enough over WiFi).
if it ever becomes an issue you can do a partial cache, render and then silently cache the rest...
Right. Now updated with a different look and the ability to search name, tags & description...
Opinions please...
😉
Gets better with every version! Would love to be able to rate/comment from within the widget, but it's already very useful.
excellent :icon14:
I always see Update message on top. Even after update. What can it be? Keep up the good work.

I think the version data might be getting cached...(have u got a browser open?) I'll stick a new version up with a workaround in a bit...
How, and where do we get this latest version with search Dave? I have been using the original widget for a while now, just refreshed, and no search?
Also noticed in the homescreen widget, it displays the oldest available application, not the newest.

www.davecozens.com/n97/davi.wgz - same link as before - I just overwrite it every time...

Another excellent applet Dave.
Can I just say that when I installed it (and the same happened with your calendar widget) the Nokia system claimed that installation had failed.
This was not true in either case - but possibly something you are doing is upsetting Nokia's software.

Dave, i just wanted to confirm that i downloaded and installed the original widget, and the new improved widget with search function and had no error messages with either upload to my phone. I bought my phone on an orange contract with e2save and it's probably therefore unbranded, i don't know if this would make any difference.
To be honest I'd be inclined to blame nokias ropey api...
It's full of holes
There are only 7 apps listed on the widget for me today. Is there a problem?
only with my brain...
should be ok now.... but it's taking longer to load so I'm tweaking things...
edit - nice and fast again. sorry for the rubbish results there... you'll need to go to 1.8 though... which should now show as an update
