Dashing Mailchimp Widget

Description

A Dashing widget to display your unread emails through Gmail using the Ruby Gmail gem.

Preview

Usage

To use this widget, copy gmail.coffee, gmail.html, and gmail.scss into the /widgets/gmail directory of your Dashing app. This directory does not exist in new Dashing apps, so you may have to create it. Copy the gmail.rb file into your /jobs folder, and include the Gmail gem in your Gemfile. Edit the gmail.rb file to include your Gmail username and password.

To include the widget in a dashboard, add the following to your dashboard layout file:

#####dashboards/sample.erb

...
  <li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="2" data-sizey="1">
    <div data-id="gmail" data-view="Gmail" data-title="Gmail"></div>
  </li>
...

• Gmail account
• The Ruby Gmail gem

This is awesome, got everything working but it's marking my emails as read, is there anyway around this?
