Retweeters show a little icon

This is a feature that was in Chromed Bird and Tweetie and was pretty easy so why not implement it.

Short links are automatically expanded

This feature is accomplished using Dion Almaer’s endpoint resolver.

Better link detection

My fork uses John Gruber’s improved liberal, accurate Regex pattern for matching URLs. This allows cases like the above to be properly ended at the parenthesis while still allowing wikipedia links that include parentheses.

What client was used to post it.

Mine displays what client the poster is using.

You can try it out on http://antimatter15.streamie.org/ But seriously, all the forking of streamie is probably great for the project, and my role is very insignificant, and it would be great if some of the features got into the master branch

In other words. It’s like google wave, but simpler in every possible way.

This protocol uses two servers. The federation server and the storage server. The latter is incredably simple. In fact, the reference implementation is only about 200 lines of JS (Node.JS FTW). Thats because a storage server accomplishes just about three things. It receives message deltas. It applies them. And it pushes the delta to all subscribers. The subscribers are the federation servers, they act on the behalf of multiple clients, keeping track of users, their inboxes, etc.

Anyway, the big part about the design is that there is only one unit of information, and that is the message. There’s no such thing as waves, wavelets, conversations, private replies, threads (sort of lying here), blips and other information. It’s just messages. Messages are stored on storage servers, and are filled with HTML and a tree of information.

Messages can have other messages inside them. It’s just some xml-ish stuff. <thread></thread> is a thread and <message name=”http://blahblahblah.com/blahblahblah”></message> is a message that goes inside the thread. You can stick it anywhere. In the middle (inline replies!) or at the end (normal replies!).

Messages don’t even have to have text. Gadgets are just messages that are slightly different.

There’s a lot that it doesn’t do because I’m too lazy to do it. And I can’t give you a live demo because I don’t have a node-enabled server.

I’m taking liberties with the concept of zooming user interfaces, but this is an example of something that lets you browse wikipedia by zooming in toward a link, and zooming out to go back. So I guess it’s more of a z-axis spatial visualization for history somewhat similar to what I guess Apple’s Time Machine program is like (though I have never tried it).

It uses html5′s popState and pushState to get the URL to change without reloading the page (which, btw people should use instead of the weird /#/ urls). It uses webkit transformations, which probably aren’t part of CSS3 since it’s vendor specific, but I haven’t had time to hack it to work on firefox, feel free to fork.

So that’s a bookmarklet. feel free to click it on this site and it’ll get rid of the infinite scrolling and for some reason it doesn’t work well on this site. Try it on wikipedia.

A few months ago I tried to make a bittorrent client in javascript. But a few days after it started, I found out that there were already other projects with the same goal. The most complete of them was summerTorrent. However, though (I thought) it was so insanely close, it wasn’t finished. So anyway, I made a few changes that at least made basic torrenting functionality working.

Tango icons are purty

I felt like making some chrome extensions recently. so this is a almost totally useless one, since it uses the experimental APIs. Basically, since the new versions of chrome let you have content scripts that act off file:/// urls, you can make a script that indexes the local files and store it to a searchable index, as I have done. Plus, there’s a new omnibox api, so you can use that to search too.

Probably won’t work for anyone. but anyway, feel free to fork it on github.

It’s a simple extension that uses the new chrome context menu API to gain DOM access to hide an element. It’s actually a lot more complicated than it should be since, probably chrome’s multi-process architecture makes it impossible to actually pass the DOM over, so instead you have to create a content script that listens and logs all click events and when a context menu action is triggered, you send a message to the content script which applies an action to the selected DOM node.

Anyway. Code here. http://github.com/antimatter15/hideelements

So microwave is now on the app store. Though wave was just announced to be shut down, I had the app done already (though I was waiting for a wave server update so thread continuation and attachment uploading would work), and I just published it anyway. So here it is. Grab it while wave still works . It supports offline, so you can cache some waves and read them on-the-go.

It’s not just one post, it’s the whole blog! http://w2embedtest.blogspot.com/

Interestingly, it does seem that a lot of the demos for the js1k competition are a whole lot more impressive than the 10k competition. Despite that js1k started with no prizes and 10k has a collective $10,000 worth of prizes. Though I do have several entries on both. Anyway, this is the continuation of my old 3d function plotter, but that one doesn’t work anymore because i’m evil and hotlinked the  github repo and three.js updated in an api-breaking way.

Anyway, after you vote up http://10k.aneventapart.com/Entry/46 and http://10k.aneventapart.com/Entry/18 you should totally try out my 3d function plotter at http://js1k.com/demo/62
