Hi, I heard about Ubiquity last week and had great fun hacking some commands together over the last few days. I think Ubiquity is one of the most interesting concepts I've seen in the browser world for a while, and I found the ease with which I could get started a real plus. My hearty thanks to everyone involved :-)
I have created some commands for finding and watching/listening to recent programmes on BBC iPlayer. It's quite rough at the moment, but i have a few ideas about how to make it better. The feed URL is below, i'd be very happy to hear feedback, bug reports etc. http://github.com/elson/ubiquity-bbc-iplayer/wikis/command-feed As someone who can write JS but is completely new to Ubiquity, there are couple of things I'd suggest that might make it easier for other such noobs. 1. Provide some API docs for the various built-in utilities (CmdUtils, etc) - the tutorial mentions a few of the available methods, but some auto-generated API docs would really help as people are probably missing out on lots of useful features. I'm a big fan of JSDoc Toolkit, it's templatable and written in JS so should fit into your build systems easy enough. In the short term just link to the source files for these, the builtincmds.js and nountypes.js links in the tutorial are currently dead (I tried to fix them but wasn't sure which files were the correct one, i'll keep looking). 2. Provide a public command feed parser for the Herd - I subscribed to the Herd and my feed is showing but the commands are not listed, only the feed URL. Looking into it it seems that the Herd parser doesn't like my feed for some reason. A form to test arbitrary feeds against the parser might help people get their commands working nicely with the Herd. I've rambled on enough now, so I'll just say thanks again to the Ubiiquity team and everyone else involved :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ubiquity-firefox" group.
