Safari 5 Extension: Ostrich - A Twitter Client
- jeromegn 16y agoHey HN, I'd love it if you could give me feedback on my first little app. I did this on my own as a pet project. At some point it reached an acceptable state of stability and usability, therefore I launched it. It's a MVP for sure.
- lessallan 16y agoCan I get a plug-in for IE6?
- jasonmccay 16y agoSweet...nice use of the extensions for a useful Safari add-on.
- jrnkntl 16y agoIt's a pretty cool extension! Altho the way you handle new tweets (or replies for that matter) is too slow in loading. Is there no other way than to load in a remote webpage on ostrichapp.com to get the new message window?
- jeromegn 16y agoAt first, I was loading the new tweet form inline. But since the client's code need to be injected in every webpage, because that's all I can do with the Safari Extension API, then I couldn't put the form inline. Here's why: I figured any malicious site owner could add some javascript code to submit the form with any text they want. Therefore any website could tweet something in your name. This is really bad, so I took this approach instead.
- antidaily 16y ago"Tweet This Page". Smart.
- JoshP 16y agoAbsolutely agree. Much easier to tweet a page WITHIN Safari rather than copy the URL, move over to a Twitter app, then post it. Great feature, for sure.
