Just a heads up for anyone who may be following this site or its RSS feed looking for updates on the Read It Later extension for Safari: I’m back from that thing to which I had a prior commitment, and I’m gearing up to do some new development work on the extension either this weekend or early next week.
It’s been a long time coming, and I’ve gone through more edits and do-overs than I care to discuss, but the new Revision 1 Studios website is up and running. There’s still a bit of clean-up work to do to ensure that the older portfolio entries match the new design, but for the most part, everything is where it needs to be.
I’m way behind on updates here, but there’s a lot going on at Revision 1 right now. I’ve got a number of web projects to post updates about, and I’m literally about 5 minutes from uploading a new Safari 5 extension for Read It Later for folks to download.
I really like Safari 5′s extension API. Since it’s built on HTML and JavaScript, I was able to roll up my Read It Later extension in about an hour. Right now it just supports adding the current tab to your list. There’s no tagging or list reviewing right now, but this fits what I need it to do about 99% of the time; I’ve actually got a Fluid instance that I use to display my list. I’m also working on a full-featured Delicious extension for Safari 5 since just adding bookmarks isn’t sufficient for me with that service, but that’ll probably be a few weeks out. I’m trying to work out the best way to group bookmarks by tag using HTML controls and a 30-pixel toolbar space. More consideration is needed.
