This first (alpha) version took three weeks of development, contains about 3,000 lines of JavaScript, uses jQuery, and is completely open-source. Oh, and I'm using it to write this blog post.  

You can download the latest version from Mozilla Addons, or you can read the full release details at the ScribeFire blog.

Top 1000 Diggers as of 2007/05/23

In other Digg news, the last 13 stories from this blog that have been submitted to Digg have all been buried. This includes posts about TubeStop, Twits Like Me, the Digg Top Users list, ScribeFire, and Wii-specific Web design. (Contrast this search page with this search page.) This means one of three things:

1. Everything I write is lame.
2. There is a group of Digg users specifically burying content from my site.
3. eFinke.com is on some sort of Digg blacklist and is being automatically buried by the system.

I'm leaning towards #2, but I don't know how they would track submissions from my site since the only way to do that has been broken for months.

If you'd like to be notified whenever I release a new dataset, you can subscribe to the Digg Statisical Data RSS feed, which will include only the dataset posts, or my main RSS feed, which is updated with all of my blog posts.

This is the very building where I worked on such projects as Slashdotter, Netscape Navigator 9, OPML Support for Firefox, ScribeFire, the Digg Top Users list, and most recently, Twits Like Me. If you act now, I'll even throw in the very desk that I sit at while I work my programming magic. Deals like this don't come along every day, especially when you consider that I was named as Time Magazine's 2006 Man of the Year!

This introductory pricing won't last long, so you'd better hurry up and make an offer.

• Spanish translation
• Support for special characters in Blogger passwords (as mentioned here)
• Added detailed error messages for when adding a Blogger account fails

(ScribeFire, previously named "Performancing for Firefox," is a full-featured blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to your blog.)

As extensions are uploaded, they are relegated to the "Sandbox." This means that while they won't appear in search results or under their respective categories, the author can still take advantage of Mozilla's free add-on hosting by pointing users directly to their add-on's download page. Sandboxed addons can be nominated for general availability by requesting an editor review, but according to Mozilla, this should be reserved for addons that are of use to the general population and enhance the Web browsing experience, and I fully agree. We don't need the site cluttered with hundreds of "gam3rHax.com Forum Toolbar" extensions that are only used by their author.

As far as my extensions go, ScribeFire and URL Fixer have been deemed public-worthy, and I've nominated OPML Support. I'll probably leave the others (Slashdotter, GoogleTabs) in the sandbox, as they're not really what I consider "general use."

Update: It looks like the site has been rolled back to its previous state; I can't determine why, but the Mozilla Webdev blog will probably post an update. You can still check out Remora at the Mozilla Addons Preview site.
