Apparently I missed the memo: TabLinks 2.0 was actually approved by Apple in September. I’ve been sitting on my hands and just recently bothered to write them and ask what was up. Miscommunication, I guess, but it’s live in the updater now, so if you have 1.3 installed, it should update to 2.0. If you have automatic updates turned off, just check the updates section at the bottom of…

TabLinks 2.0 is finished, and it’s a total rewrite. The changes have been submitted to Apple, and if all goes well, TabLinks will be updated in the Extensions Gallery shortly. Here’s an overview of the changes:

You can download the 2.0 release below, or wait for it to update in the Extensions Gallery.

Primer: gleeBox is an amazing extension for Safari (and Chrome and Firefox) that gives you keyboard navigation of links, bookmarks, bookmarklets and more. If you haven’t tried it out, you should.

Due in part to the inclusion of Instapaper Beyond in Apple’s Safari Extensions Gallery, I’ve put together a dedicated “microsite” for Instapaper Beyond. You can check it out at http://​brettterpstra​.com/​i​n​s​t​a​p​a​p​e​r​b​e​y​ond.

I just got word from Apple that Instapaper Beyond is being added to the Safari Extensions Gallery! That’s great news, for the most part… it means that I’ll have to run all future updates through Apple before releasing them, but I assume that will just be a minor formality in the grand scheme of things.

I just pushed a tiny little update to the GReader Instapaper extension. It shortens the default speed at which the notifications disappear, and adds a settings item in preferences so you can adjust it if you want to. I think the 1300ms delay is a pretty good one, it was 5000 before (and everyone complained). All better.

This was a quick plugin I put together last night when I got too frustrated to work on my actual jobs. It lets you define a single shortcut key which, after you input your Instapaper username and password, will let you send the currently-selected article in Google Reader straight to Instapaper. It works fine with themes like Helvetireader (Safari extension), and functions in both list…
