title: Xara Doesn't Work, Tasty for Firefox
---

<p>
So what's the deal with the <a href='http://www.xaraxtreme.org/download/'>Xara demo</a>, anyway?  <a href='http://slashdot.org/'>Slashdot</a> made a big stink about their demo, how it would revolutionize vector drawing programs for Linux, and all that jazz.  I've been using <a href='http://inkscape.org/'>Inkscape</a> quite a bit lately, so I was anxious to see what the <a href='http://www.xaraxtreme.org/download/'>Xara demo</a> had to offer.  As far as I can tell, the demo is <i>sourceforge-ware</i> &mdash; it looks like about 2 hours of work in <a href='http://glade.gnome.org/'>Glade</a>, plus a page that promises all sorts of cool features, eventually.  
</p>

<p>
I ported the awesome <a href='http://delicious.mozdev.org/'>Delicious plugin</a> for <a href='http://mozilla.org/products/firefox/'>Firefox</a> to work with <a href='http://tasty.pablotron.org/'>Tasty</a>.  You can download the  XPI <a href='/files/tasty-0.5.8.xpi'>here</a> (most features seem to work okay, but my port consisted basically of a massive 's/del.icio.us/tasty.pablotron.org/ig', so caveat emptor).
