I'm running firefox 3.0 in Ubuntu 8.04-64, which is an environment I haven't seen listed here yet. I’d love to test the 3.0 extension.

The only thing I would like to see is the ability to delete listings from the drop down button instead of opening my bookmarks. Thanks I love Read It Later.

Thanks for the comments/suggestions, I did want to clarify a few things though.

Read It Later does in fact work with sync plugins like Foxmarks.  Take a look at the section labeled ‘How to sync with other computers’ on the main Read It Later page.

Also, regarding your comment about removing links, the ‘read later’ button should change to ‘mark as read’ when you are on a page in your list.  Clicking ‘mark as read’ will remove the item from you list.  If this button is not working for you, expect this to be corrected in 0.9

Finally, yes I plan on releasing 0.9 before Firefox 3 is offically released. 

Thanks!

Nate

Mort Mon, 03 Mar 2008 01:13:23 +0000 http://www.ideashower.com/blog/read-it-laters-future/#comment-1936 I love ReadItLater as it is. I experience the same bug issues that Mark O'Neill mentioned about bookmarks not saving properly sometimes so if you were able to direct attention to that, that would rock. But I disagree with his other suggestions. The icons are fine as is. Definitely keep storing the ReadItLater bookmarks in the bookmark folder, I like that I can tag something to be read later at work and it'll sync up for me at home when I have the time. Also, I like that I can manually add or remove or fix things in the ReadItLater folder when the plugin is experiencing buggy behavior. I love ReadItLater as it is.

I'd prefer they didn't get removed automatically, but I'd like something easier than keeping the "Organize Bookmarks" window open. Please and thank you!

Categories, for example. I find that when I choose things to be read later, it's because I'm in a hurry to get to the tab three tabs down (and go back to the original thing I was searching). Or, it's because I want to look at a site again later and then download something from it. Sometimes I put links under RIL because I have something to do with that link, like reply back to a LJ comment or figure out where I'm going to put this link when I put it in my <i>real</i> bookmarks. Or, I use it to bookmark things I'm probably never going to read, but I may want access to later (damn packratism!). That's about the only thing I require. As for the syncing and accessing bookmarks off my computer, I'd love to have some kind of integration with FoxMarks. If that can't be done (or no one else wants it, or not enough people want it), I'd be happy with transporting a .html file from my computer to my flash drive and back. I'd prefer this file to be easy to find though (maybe under the same directory as the bookmarks.html file is in the profile folder?). Anyways. Those are my suggestions. I love the work you're doing so far! Though, I do have one question. When you make this for Firefox 3 only, will that be when Firefox 3 is first released as an actual product (and not a beta), or will it be released before Firefox 3 is ready for the public?

The only thing I could think to add would be a way to sort the sites I've added into folders or to tag them in some way so they are more organized than a list. For example, I'd like to be able to separate my list out into categories like tech news items, blogs, just for fun, top 10 lists to bookmark, etc. But, like I said, I would be perfectly happy as well if it stays the same.
