dribbble_desktop

A ruby script that scrapes rss feed of "shots" from dribbble.com, puts the images in a folder, generates an html file that you can load using WebDesktop. Poof - dribbble shots tiled nicely on your desktop. Written by Chad Humphries at the Hacker B & B.

^{NOTE: this is all drafted and explained for a OSX user. Other systems will need other instructions and/or something completely different than this script}

How to Use

1. mkdir dribbble_desktop
2. Add dribbble_desktop.rb file to your dribbble_desktop directory.
3. cd dribbble_desktop
4. then run ruby dribbble_desktop.rb
   ^{NOTE: make sure that you are connected to the interwebs. This scrapes the RSS feed of dribbble.com's "Everyone" shots.}
5. Download & install WebDesktop
   ^{NOTE: OSX ONLY. Sorry Windows users... you will have to figure something else out.}
6. Run the WebDesktop app and Open File command + O (open the dribbble.html file in your dribbble_desktop directory, generated by running the ruby script.)
7. That's it! You now have the latest dribbble shots on your desktop.
