Flex builder on Linux kept on Hold?

June 12, 2009

This post has reported that the flex builder work on linux has been put on hold.  Noted Adobe techie has said “there is not enough requisition for the product to continue its development”

Well, that’s not a great news to hear.. considering the open sourced SDK of adobe flex,  good amount of interest was generated in the FOSS developer community. To help it revive again, use this link to vote on the adobe site.

From the current builder available on linux ,which is infact a eclipse plugin, the main feature I missed was, the design view in it. Hopefully, when the development continues design view is also ported to linux.

Searchme – The new era of visual search.

April 24, 2008

Searchme is a search engine. Yes, one would guess, oh here’s another one out to change the way one searches the web. But this one does catch your attention. It displays results in visual format and lets you slide through results using a slide bar in the bottom. The visual effects are appealing, which gives you a impression like as if we are flipping through yellow pages. As you type the categories are auto suggested and placed as icons right below your text box as shown below.

As is evident, the whole site is Flash SWF file. The rich look and feel is driven by Flex and is currently under beta stage. It would take them some time to establish themselves, but their crawlers are already on the sprawl to index the web. You can join their development team by applying to jobs@searchme.com .
