I should start reading your blog more often! I didn’t realize I could icon-ize my bookmark lists.
Nice graphic!
Well, now that we know which widgets are the most popular, I hope you can fix some bugs with those 2 widgets:
• Bookmarks widget: when adding bookmarks I change its title sometimes and saved them that way. However, some bookmarks update & overwrite my title edit, and use the website’s updated title. I have to re-edit those. Kind of annoying.
• Webfeed widget: some feeds don’t refresh as often as desired. I used to test a same webfeed in Mozilla Thunderbird, Netvibes & start.me. start.me is the one who got the worst results, especially in the mobile interface. I have to manually refresh a feed widget to get latest articles/news. Annoying as well.
Hope you can fix those.
