Hi!
I'd like to announce the release of Oculo, a homescreen widget capable of bringing any web content into your home. Not only full web pages: you are usually not interested in advertisment and menu bars, right? So, Oculo allows you to pick specific parts of the web page.
I wrote a blog post about it, with more details and an explanatory video on how to configure it.


In this screenshot, there's the Flickr! featured image, Google local news, and Yahoo finance.

Note: for some reasons, homescreen widgets written in Qt are not visible if you are running the community SSU; it's a known problem, and I'm trying to investigate it.

Oculo is currently in the extras-testing repository.
