Snowl 0.3pre1, the first preview release of the next version of Snowl (the messaging-in-the-browser experiment), is now available.This version includes a bunch of “under the hood” work to enable future improvements to the interface and functionality. It also includes initial implementations of some of those improvements.<\/p>\n

In particular, it more closely integrates Snowl into Firefox’s existing feed functionality with a revamped river view that replaces Firefox’s feed preview page. When you press the feed button (\"page-livemarks\") in Firefox’s location bar, Snowl now subscribes you to the feed and shows it to you in the river view:<\/p>\n

If you decide you don’t want to subscribe to the feed after all, unsubscribing from it is easy: just press the Undo<\/em> button in the notification bar at the top of the page. If you’d rather subscribe to the feed using a different feed reader, you can still do that: just select the reader from the menu in the notification bar.<\/p>\n

If the site provides multiple feeds, Snowl subscribes you to all of them. However, if it detects duplicate feeds–like an Atom feed and an RSS one–it only subscribes you to one.<\/p>\n

The river view also shows you feeds available in other open tabs, to make the feeds provided by the websites you are browsing more discoverable.<\/p>\n

\"picture-4\"<\/p>\n

You can subscribe to those feeds with a single click on their star icons, just as with bookmarks.<\/p>\n

alta88 has also made a number of improvements to the list view, including the ability to delete messages and the ability to search collections.<\/p>\n

Try out Snowl 0.3pre1<\/a> and let us know what you think! But don’t forget that this is a preview release of a labs experiment, not a stable release of a finished product, and there are bound to be bugs and other issues.<\/p>\n

Post your thoughts on Snowl to the discussion group<\/a>, and file bug reports<\/a> on the problems you encounter. Or join us for discussion in the #labs IRC channel on irc.mozilla.org<\/a>. And if you’re interesting in hacking on Snowl, check out the source code<\/a>.<\/p>\n
