Cover Flow for a more Fluid browsing experience

alright, i still feel that ssb's are not for me.. persay, but i do have to say the coverflow is a good idea for a browser, and that demo video made me smile.. obviously you have skizzizles Todd, i just personally don't need an app to make a gmail webapp...

and to the comment above, about running as a separate process.. well, most of these things save every .3 seconds anyway.. still nice video and good idae.

I've been able to add this Cover Flow effect with my photographs by using a Flash component called photoFlow (http://www.flashloaded.com/flashcomponents/photoflow/). Here's an example for a photo documentary I did: http://inourpath.com/gallery

To those who were curious about how to configure CoverFlow for more sites:

Udpate to Fluid 0.8.9.1, and you can now configure coverflow thumbnails for any site you like using CSS selectors in the Thumbnail Preferences Pane. This is my last comment here, so If you have more questions, check out the Fluid site and join our Google Group.

thanks all. peace.

This app seriously sucks.. i tried Digg like the video and it worked, then i tried Engadget and Tuaw which both did not work correctly. I'd like it if i can pick my bookmarks in a coverflow manner, that would be nice...

Todd--why does this work on some sites but not others? I did a digg one like in the video and it worked but with Slashdot and TUAW I get nothing. Both sites have RSS feeds, which I was guessing is how this works.

Man, you guys pimp fluid more than trump pimps real estate. I just don't see the point. I've run it.. i get that people want a "separate" experience, particularly on smaller screens...but without an open with function, you're kidding yourself. It's the beginning i suppose of the rich web apps.. but for now, it's just a window... what's the point?

@Bryan glad you like Fluid! I'm also a fan of Mailplane. Great app.

@C the song is "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White". it's on iTunes IIRC.

Any care to share the name of the song used in the video?

Well, I for one think this is a very cool app, and I appreciate the effort. @kertong - Cover Flow works fine for me with Digg.
@Todd - I wish this had come out earlier - I could have saved myself some money on Mailplane ;)

I love the app so far!

Seems like the coverflow for digg.com is broken though - it's looking for anchors in div.main, but it looks like the site was updated? I see them within div.news-body, but toying with these settings still don't work - the coverflow pane is just blank.

Anybody get this working?

Aside from this, great job - I hated the way Safari/Webkit would hang on GMail, and it would take everything down with it. This is great, if only for this gmail quarantine!
