"So many actions and todos originate from emails. Today, with contextual gadgets, we deliver the user their timesheet so it's incredibly convenient for them to fill out."- Danny Wen,
Harvest Co-founder.
Head over to the
Google Enterprise Blog if you want more detail on these applications.
Contextual Gadgets greatly accelerate user adoption by bringing the application directly to the user in context and in their normal work flow. Many great apps fail to gain user traction because they are separated from the normal workflow. Gmail Contextual Gadgets solve that problem for developers, and make it much easier for the end users to see the benefits.
If you think you’re ready to start saving time for the users of your application, then dive right into the
Developer’s Guide for Gmail Contextual Gadgets. Since gadgets are based on the
OpenSocial gadget specification, they’re developed in the technologies you’re already familiar with -- HTML, JavaScript and CSS. Get started now, and be sure to share what you build!
