App: Propane for Campfire
Cost: $20 during beta
Propane is a simple add-on app for the Mac. It makes creating and managing Campfire chat rooms a lot more efficient.
Let's see how it does what it does.
Here's the Propane main screen where you do all the work:
propane: main screen
Files, transcripts & search dialogue:
Propane: files, transcripts & search
Unlock this room dialogue:
propane: dialogue: unlock room
General prefs screen:
propane: prefs: general
General settings screen:
propane: prefs: notifications
Manage menu:
propane: menu: manage
Search menu:
propane: menu: search
That's pretty much it. Propane is a slick and agile app and it takes Campfire to the next level by running it as an app rather than via the browser. I guess you could get some of this functionality using Fluid, but for $20, I think I'll buy it and run my next agile standup meeting with it. Here's my Campfire Lobby if you wanna commune sometime.
