Flock Blog

Web designer Jeremy Koempel recently blogged about how he uses Flock for his web design work.

As a designer I often find myself spending hours researching a product, reading papers, viewing images, etc and previously had an open text document and a ton of screen shots saved to the desktop. The web snippets feature not only saves a reference to the location of the original picture or text, you can drag photos from the drawer directly in to Photoshop for manipulation.

He also has some ideas about how we could make the web snippets bar better for his workflow.

My three major improvements to this interface would be the ability to save “sessions” of the drawer as a means to organize material, an export feature for the drawer so I could output everything to a directory, and a larger version of the image or text when rolled over as the current size of icons in the drawer render the images somewhat indistinguishable from one another.

Neat use of the web snippets bar, Jeremy.

I don't know if it's just me but whenever I drag text into web snippets, I always lose the formatting and hyperlinks and images.... basically, all that is saved is plain text. That is very little use to me.

Hence, I use Google notebook instead.

hmm, that reminds me. Are you guys planning to link with Google services pretty soon? Web Snippets can be an "extension" to Google notebook.

Also, the (toolbar) search enhancements that you made is great except for one thing - we're trapped with Yahoo. Any plans of having the same feature but using results from Google instead?

Thanks.

Using flock for a web development browser seems like a bad idea to me. I really can't see any reason a developer would pick flock over firefox. Am I missing something here. It has some really cool features and I particularly like how it handles RSS feeds, but the skin is incredibly painful to look at, and I don't think I could ever use it for anything until that is addressed.
