It must be coincidence, but yesterday I sent a message to the makers of
Shrook asking them to
support external blog editors.
Brent and me started to think about interoperability recently and the result of our communication is two new features in ecto. One is that with the forthcoming NetNewsWire 2.0 release, you can now set ecto as the external blog editor. You'd be reading a cool feed in NetNewsWire, select a command, and - whoosh - the feed item's link and contents appear in a new entry in ecto. Like it? I sure do.
...
Although at the moment this only works with NetNewsWire, other newsreaders will be supported as soon they provide the above kind of interoperation.
Today Shrook tells me a new version is available and lo and behold: it supports external blog editors. This is my first post with ecto and having it work with Shrook is way freakin' cool.
What started all this was a hilarious
Geeky doormat.
