Blogging tools ecosystem
SharpReader is currently a monolithic application. I'd like to see it interact with the ecosystem a bit more.
There are two ways to approach this. One is the monolithic application with components model. Somebody identifies either the dll or assembly to be invoked when a given event occurs. This is probably the way to handle the pluggable browser request.
The other is more peer to peer from an application perspective. You accept requests over a socket. You send requests over a socket. Simple example: allow people to add rss feeds to the aggregator. Another example: allow people to configure a userid, password, and URL to be POSTed to when the subscriptions change, and I can write a CGI which will update my blogroll.
I see Luke uses Movable Type. Wouldn't it be handy if MT users could click on an icon and have the MT dialog launched with the entry field prefilled with the relevant blogroll item blockquoted?
