September 2, 2008 at 11:52HabraFx on take-off
Greetings, Hawkers!
While some on Habrahabr are discussing the future of the resource, we are trying to facilitate, in some way, the life of the habra-people. For these purposes, I created an extension called HabraFx , with which users of the Firefox 3 browser can get some additional features for working with Habrahabr.
You can install the extension right now , but to facilitate obtaining information about the extension and the extension itself, a whole site was created by CurlyBrace comrade , for which many thanks to him!
It seems to me that the goals that I set are quite obvious:
At the moment you can see:

The presented version of the extension does not include some features that are still under deep development (for example, full management of comment branches, but of course I will not reveal all the secrets). However, this does not mean that HabraFx will remain at the same level of development as it is now. If you install this extension for yourself, updates will come to you automatically, without unnecessary gestures, and you can always get all the latest experimental features “by subscription”. Updates will come out as often as possible from the author (me).
Of course, in the comments on this topic, you can demand the implementation of a variety of ideas. I will try to implement them, depending on their relevance, interest. Of course, in this case, your name will find a place on the pages of extension subauthors. Go for it!
Where to get?

Goals
It seems to me that the goals that I set are quite obvious:
- Learning XUL with all application technologies (XPCOM, JavaScript, and others) to create Firefox browser extensions;
- Actually, expanding the capabilities of Habrahabr by introducing various experimental innovations;
- Create a little tutorial on creating Firefox extensions in the future (if required);
- Opening an extension to be able to view its source code: for this, you just need to unpack habrafx.xpi with your favorite archiver .
Current features
At the moment you can see:
- Karma / Habrasila monitoring. Monitoring the position of the habrachelove in the ranking is currently excluded from the extension due to an error in the Habrahabr API, which returns incredibly huge numbers. UFO will figure it out ;
- Monitoring changes in points (rating) and the number of comments of your last topic;
- Personal ban (blocking) of blogs;
- Blocking users: hides the comment branches, where a user who was objectionable to you was discovered with the ability to still read this branch (if there is an irresistible urge to do this).
What does it look like?

Why so few?

Yet?
Of course, in the comments on this topic, you can demand the implementation of a variety of ideas. I will try to implement them, depending on their relevance, interest. Of course, in this case, your name will find a place on the pages of extension subauthors. Go for it!
