Nice - is it possible to make this a Firefox add-in for a sidebar?? - Les Zaldor
Les - yes a side bar would be great. Shouldn't be too hard, but I haven't done an add-in before. Would solve some of the frame issues - via StumbleRead - Adam Loving
Thanks for the likes! - via StumbleRead - Adam Loving
only gripe so far is that I'm used to the google reader shortcuts (j,k for next prev), otherwise looks great. - John Duff
@Les Yes, that would be nice. - Kerem Ozkan
John - I'll add J and K. I got N and P from google reader :) - via StumbleRead - Adam Loving
I can't get it to work. I just see a 2 blank panes. I want the love! - Matt Hartzler via twhirl
hmm... lemme look and see if there are any errors on the server side - via StumbleRead - Adam Loving
Works great in safari. Very nice. - via StumbleRead - Matt Hartzler
I wish the comments were reverse chronological so newest comment was on top. - via StumbleRead - Matt Hartzler
Server side looks in good shape. Don't know about reverse chrono comments - need to take a vote :). - via StumbleRead - Adam Loving
I was thinking of hiding comments after the last two. - via StumbleRead - Adam Loving
OK - I deployed support for J and K hotkeys :). - via StumbleRead - Adam Loving
Thanks Adam! How about collapsing the comments down to show the first and last couple, with a more link, like friendfeed does? - John Duff
Another thought, is there any way to filter out posts that you have already looked at, unless there was a comment added? - John Duff
John - yes collapsible comments sound great. Any preference on whether the comments are in chronological or reverse chronological order? So far I've got one strong vote for reverse :). - Adam Loving
With regard to dropping read posts... I think I could make this work. I don't think it would be too disruptive because the posts get scrambled every 180s (to preserve the "most recently touched" order that FF puts them in). I feel an options page coming on...! - Adam Loving
adam: nice job. small UI thing: is there a way to insert a line break after "{ } posted an item on { }"? as is, this line runs right into the title of the linked item, and causes a momentary bump as you're reading along. thanks! - Bill Barol
Hi Bill - excellent point. I didn't want to add a full line break there in order to condense everything as much as possible. However, today I added a colon to give it a little more separation. hope that works for you. - Adam Loving
Works for me. Thanks. - Bill Barol
I'm pretty new to all this FF stuff but, to my newbie eyes, this is a great bit of kit Adam! Also love the way you're responding so swiftly to users' comments :) - Bob Kingsley
FYI, links to NY Times articles seem to close the left-hand StumbleRead panel. - Robert Gable
I wasn't able to find away around pages with "frame buster" javascript (like the NYT). However, I've introduced a new "pop-out" mode which doesn't suffer from this problem. - Adam Loving
