Read It Later's Future
I wanted to brief everyone on what my plans are for the Read It Later extension as it's now been two months since the last update. I've been ignoring you while I was working on Tail Report. Tail Report is happily cranking away so now it's time for Read It Later again.
The next update (0.9) will only be for Firefox 3. The bookmarking service built into Firefox has been completely revamped between FF 2 and 3. It's great because they finally have a solid bookmark API that will make the Read It Later extension much more stable. Before I literally had to pour through thousands of lines of the Firefox source code to figure out how to make it do the simplest tasks.
But this also means that Read It Later will have to be rebuilt to work on Firefox 3. This gives me the opportunity to make some decisions about which features will carry over, which won't, and what new features will be added.
So I'm asking you dudes and dudines for two things:
1. Suggestions - If you have any suggestions on features you wish it had, now is the time to voice them. If you see a suggestion from someone in the comments and you like it, second it.- What You Like Now - In addition to telling me what you want, tell me what you like about it the way it is now. I want to know what features people are using.
