Feeds, a native iPhone and iPod Touch application was given the OK by Apple yesterday and is available in the App Store as of this writing. Feeds is the native version of Prime31’s iPhone web-based RSS feed reader called iFeeder (http://iFeeder.prime31.com from your iPhone or iPod Touch). You can view Feeds in the App Store here (opens iTunes) or on the web at http://feeds.prime31.com.



Feeds provides some unique ways of adding feeds to make life easier when on the iPhone. You can enter a base url (such as www.prime31.com for example) and Feeds will try to find any RSS feeds that are associated with that website. You can also do searches to find new feeds to read or browse by category through thousands of popular (and some not so popular feeds).

Feel free to leave any feedback or feature requests here.

This will be the culmination of the four part series on MooTools for non programmers. In this installment we will take all that we learned in the previous parts and put it together to make a flash menu system.

This week we are going to keep moving forward with our look at using MooTools to make our pages have some nice, fancy effects. The last few posts we looked at how easy it is with MooTools to animate different CSS properties. We are going to expand on that this post and for next weeks post all the effects will culminate in a gorgous menu.

In the last MooTools tutorial we saw how easy it is to add event handlers and use the built in effects. This time we will take it a bit further and work with some custom effects. Sometimes the built in effects dont always meet the requirements of a particular site or we want a bit fancier javascipt effect for a particular situation. For these such cases, MooTools makes it super easy to put together a custom effect.

Using MooTools can be a bit daunting for the non-programmer types out there (mainly designers and javascript newbies). I’m going to display a few examples of just how simple MooTools can be. Hopefully this will spark some interest for a few people so that you get motivated to do a bit of learning and see how powerful and usable MooTools can be.
