It has private posts, looks fairly decent, doesn't have a gadzillion dependencies (unlike Rubric), and works reasonably well. +</p> + +<p> +I went ahead and set it up, and made a few changes. And so <a href='http://tasty.pablotron.org/'><code>tasty.pablotron.org</code></a> was born. <a href='http://scuttle.org/'>Scuttle</a> has an option to import all your old <a href='http://del.icio.us/'>Delicious</a> <acronym title='Uniform Resource Locator'>URLs</acronym>, but I didn't want to give up on <a href='http://del.icio.us/'>Delicious</a> just yet — I just wanted something that wasn't ass-slow. So I patched <a href='http://scuttle.org/'>Scuttle</a> so users can optionally cross-post to <a href='http://del.icio.us/'>Delicious</a>. I used some of that <a href='/'>Pablotron</a> magic, so <a href='http://del.icio.us/'>Delicious</a>-chaining doesn't slow down posting links at all, which makes it much more pleasant than waiting up to a minute for a post to <a href='http://del.icio.us/'>Delicious</a>. I also added an option for users to switch between comma- and space-delimiting for tags when posting new links (<a href='http://scuttle.org/'>Scuttle</a> uses the former and <a href='http://del.icio.us/'>Delicious</a> uses the latter), and fixed the after-post behavior to mirror <a href='http://del.icio.us/'>Delicious</a> (specifically, close the pop-up after a post, and switch the browser back to the original URI after a non-pop-up post). +</p> + +<p> +Anyway, You can see all the changes described above by creating an account on <a href='http://tasty.pablotron.org/'>Tasty</a>. Here's all the changes I've made against <a href='http://scuttle.org/'>Scuttle</a> 0.4.1, as individual patches: +</p> + +<ul> +<li><a href="/files/scuttle-0.4.1-chain_to_delicious.diff"><code>scuttle-0.4.1-chain_to_delicious.diff</code></a></li> +<li><a href="/files/scuttle-0.4.1-space_delim.diff"><code>scuttle-0.4.1-space_delim.diff</code></a></li> +<li><a href="/files/scuttle-0.4.1-close_popup+go_back.diff"><code>scuttle-0.4.1-close_popup+go_back.diff</code></a></li> +</li> +</ul> + +<p> +I'm sending all of these patches upstream as soon as I finish this post, so hopefully we'll see these in the next release. +</p> + +<p> +<b>Update:</b> I inadvertently broke comma-delimiting. The following +patch fixes it (you'll need to apply this one after all of the others <a +href='/files/scuttle-0.4.1-fix_comma_delim.diff'><code>scuttle-0.4.1-fix_comma_delim.diff</code></a>. +</p> + |
