Konfabulator is the Original Dashboard, Claims its Developer
While Redmond is stealing ideas from Cupertino, it seems Cupertino is stealing ideas from its third party developers. Konfabulator, the first utility to allow users skinable easy to create desk accessory-like objects written in JavaScript, has served as the template for Apple's new feature Dashboard. As a result, we'd like let the Mac OS X community know that if they'd like to get their hands on Dashboard now rather than wait 'till "the first half of 2005" they can.

Konfabulator is a $25 application that allows for the use of files called Widgets. Widgets are built with a combination of XML, JavaScript, can include AppleScript and Unix calls, and can look and do whatever you want them to.
