Fettuccine is a small app that allows you to collect a set of links to webcam sites, and browse through those webcams quickly and easily. It also allows you to quickly link to each webcam's home page, and has a customized refresh rate for each webcam.

Webcams can be tagged with identifiers for use in creating categories (such as "Beaches", "Mountains", or "Volcanoes"). The main webcam list can be filtered by these tags.

Webcams are entered into Fettuccine via an XML file. As of the current version (0.8), the XML format is a bit sparse, and I don't yet have a DTD for it. You can see an example of the syntax by examining the default Fettuccine xml file:

(This file can be loaded directly into Fettuccine via the "Import Webcam List" option in the drop-down menu.)

Also, please note that when a new XML file is loaded, all previous webcams are removed. I will hopefully have a more convenient method of adding new webcams in the future!

As of version 0.9, Fettuccine can now also run as a homescreen widget:

Fettuccine is a free and open-source project, released under the Gnu GPL (version 2 or later, at your option). You can find the source code at Github:
