cool! extension's first success! - Ac0n (former Franc)

Well, not sure it's working :-) I'm running OS X Chromium nightly, and clicking it doesn't seem to do anything. - Jesse Stay

But I like having the FF logo next to my URL bar, so that's a success :-) - Jesse Stay

It's right next to the Facebook logo - Jesse Stay

// EDIT: ok that's messy. here: http://tinypaste.com/6081b Anybody know hoe to make it work on OSx? - Ac0n (former Franc)

Works fine on Mac OS X 5.0.335 dev channel release. It looks like extensions are disabled on the extensions website and on Chrome internal pages, but if you go to like http://google.com the bookmarklet pops up just fine. You can try to remove the %20 in the action_url string, but removing it didn't seem to affect my usage either way. - Mark Trapp

Good work, Francisco. - Micah

Thanks, Micah. @Goadkicker Super! - Ac0n (former Franc)

Actually, it seems to work, just wasn't working on the link to the extension. Seems to work fine on other pages though so I think we're good. - Jesse Stay

Neat - ✔ ǝuǝƃnǝ

Great to hear, Jesse. Btw. What does the facebook button do? :-) - Ac0n (former Franc)

Francisco, here's the Facebook one: https://chrome.google.com/extensi... - from what I hear it was written at a Facebook hackathon by an intern there. - Jesse Stay

I really like the small scrolling bar they styled there. Sweet. - Ac0n (former Franc)

If you could combine FFcheck with the bookmarklet, that would be very useful - Shey

and friendfeedTranslate - if someone does this, I suggest using kynetx to do it. It will give you one jquery-based language to write extensions with one code base across most browsers: http://kynetx.com - Jesse Stay

*ears perk up* - Micah

Jesse, are you an advisor to kynetx (I see they're based in Lehi)? Do you know what their business model is - have they stated anything as such publicly. It certainly looks interesting. - Micah

Micah, I am not an advisor, nor do I have any vested interest. I just really like what they're doing. Their business model is in building custom apps for brands interested, or in consulting. I'm not sure what other types of deals they do. Their developer platform is free though. You can ask @windley or @fulling on Twitter though and I'm sure they can answer more detailed questions than I'm aware. - Jesse Stay

Of note, @windley wrote the Digital Identity book for O'Reilly, and has a very strong identity background. I fully expect them to go full force into the identity realm with what they're doing. Imagine completely customized context (such as this extension, but even more), through extensions, action cards, and bookmarklets, across all browsers. - Jesse Stay

@Shey do you have a link to ffcheck? never heard of it. EDIT: never mind. http://ffcheck.com ..I think it's doable. ;-) as for ff translate ... - Ac0n (former Franc)

Lol, if it's doing so, I had no idea. @Slippy - Ac0n (former Franc)

Wow, just what i needed, thanks Francisco! - Majento

@Slippy ¬¬ haa I should have seen it coming! I'm glad it's useful, Majento. - Ac0n (former Franc)

cool, but like the bookmarklet doesn't work in recent builds of chrome (e.g. 5.0.375.99) - scott willeke

I'm gonna test that and update. - Ac0n (former Franc)

what seems to be the issues?, it does work fine in 5.0.375.99 (Build oficial 51029) beta and 6.0 dev channel (windows 7) - Ac0n (former Franc)

it's not working for me, too. can we solve this problem? - ToMtOm

Yeah, seems to be broken in the current stable version. Clicking the button doesn't do anything. :( I guess it's back to the regular bookmarklet for the time being. - Fried Curdys

It broke for me too. - Skyler Call from Android

I've been checking it for the past week or so and it only seems to be broken in old installs of chrome. new installs are ok. I dunno what could be causing this. :P - Ac0n (former Franc)

doesn't work any more: chrome 15.0.874.121 on OS X - ✔ ǝuǝƃnǝ

Listen to the product - scott willeke
