I’ve been sorta hiding this behind a mac that is currently behind a locked building in an office somewhere in Mountain View, but thought that now was a good time as any to demonstrate what I have been working on.
The project is called My Lists. In a nutshell, it allows users to generate and publish a list of addons. For example, you may want to generate a list of the best web developers extensions you can find. So you include extensions such as the Extension Developer’s extension, and Firebug. You can then share this list with friends, or post a link to your website. Other users can then directly download these extensions from that page.
You can get a demonstration of what a list looks like at a remora instance I put up on this site. Of course, you need a username/password to generate your own list (and find the page that lets you do it ;)).
The hope is that this list will be used with other websites, through a web service. I currently have a service that does that by reading XML from a post request.
None of this is really done. Everything is very dis-jointed. You can’t tell what lists a user created or who created a list. Still needs polish. But just wanted to get the project out there in the open.
