Welp, I finally upgraded to Leopard today. And you know what that means… Fluid! Now that I can run standalone GitHub, I thought it would be fun to play with the provided JS API.
First up, your unread message count. We don’t have any polling stuff (yet), but it’ll update on every page load:
Also, if you hold down the GitHub icon there are some quick links available:
That’s it for now. I’m sure there will be more as both Fluid and GitHub grow. I’d love to figure out a way to add some useful Growl stuff.
Update: Want to try out the Thumbnail plugin on commits? Go to Preferences and click “Thumbnail,” then add these two rules:
<a href="http://github.com/">http://github.com/</a>*commits* .human .message pre a <a href="https://github.com/">https://github.com/</a>* .commit .message a
This’ll give you hot coverflow action for commits on your dashboard and any commit log page.
Robby Russell has a good write up of how to get Growl working with Campfire using Fluid – might be some code you can pull and modify there
Lukasz, it’s here: http://github.com/mojombo/github-media/tree/master%2Foctocat.png?raw=true
I mean, here.
@davidsmalley: It is indeed good, but I’m not sure activating Growl when browsing to a page is useful. So, still trying to think of something.
I would love to see links to branches when you right click or hold down the icon… or maybe direct links to the repos you’re watching
I have to upgrade to Leopard now :)
Perhaps someone could build a common fluid app + post it as a github project.
The Thumbnail stuff is very cute.
@drnic: I don’t think there’s any support for that yet, but it’s coming soon.
hey github guys, i think what you’re doing with fluid is great! thanks a ton for adding support for the JS API!
@drnic I’d really prefer if you head over to the Fluid site, download the app and create your own SSB, but no biggie.
oh, btw, my name’s todd and i develop fluid :0]
peace
Thumbnails don’t seem to work for private repositories, the URLs are missing the host part.
Looks like someone has done the Growl/Dock notifications: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/37620
I don't understand, shouldn't there be links to the userscripts or something somewhere in this post?
Thumbnails don't work for me :-(. Where are they expected to show up? Or do I have to do anything more than written here?
