Karelia Announces Software Developers' Kit for Sandvox 1.5

ALAMEDA, CA, USA, November 19, 2008: Karelia Software has released a Software Developers' Kit (SDK) for creating plugins for Sandvox version 1.5 and up.

The Sandvox SDK allows Cocoa developers to create new custom pages, pagelets, and collection index data types. By creating custom-built plugins, Sandvox can be extended far beyond the core of its own built-in eleven page types and nineteen pagelet types. For example, a developer might create a new pagelet type to display auction listings or local weather reports, or a new page type to display content from a new online video service.

"I am very excited about the public release of the Sandvox SDK as it is sure to make an already great application even better. I found the SDK to be very well documented and within just a few hours I was able to create a new page style," said Gary Byrd of SandvoxWebDesigns.com, who has been beta-testing the SDK.
