HKPL Checkouts 1.0



Direct download link: HKPL Widget 1.01

Hi, this is my first ever widget that was built using Dashcode. HKPL Checkouts is a simple library records widget, that keeps you informed about your library records.

I made this widget because I forgot to renew a book for almost 2 months, fined for almost $100 HKD! So I have vowed to myself that I will make a widget to make the world a better place...

So here it is. This widget is actually powered by a simple python program, that logins to HKPL website on your behalf, grabs the library records and parse the information in a nicely layout table.

I will make a version 1.01 sometimes which add 'book search' feature. So stay tuned! If you find any bugs or have any suggestions, feel free to leave a message here. Thanks!

[edit 2:54am] 1.01 Bug fix is out: Thank you to the support from our friends at Mac.hk. thmalex and Dennis found an off-by-one error... a CS 101 mistake, very embarrassing. My girlfriend's and my own library accounts have maxed out all the slots, so I can't verify if I have squashed the bug just yet.
