I just wanted to write down a few thoughts as I've worked on the Eyes
Like Lightning (speed reading) command for Ubiquity 0.5.3.

Command available at:
http://gist.github.com/170167

1. I am excited about the new storage / persistence--I just wish I'd
found out about it sooner.  Is there any reason this is not more
public at the moment?  The API seems very nice (http://
groups.google.com/group/ubiquity-firefox/msg/657e85f40a09c655).  Will
the API remain the same ("Bin")?  I ended up adding Jonathan Micklos'
solution to my javascript (http://jonmicklos.com/blog/?p=92).

2. This is the first time I've needed an image that isn't stored
online somewhere... so I used base64 encoding in some CSS, which is
then injected into the DOM.  Is this a best practice?  It seems
clunky, but maybe it's ok.

3. I used jQuery extensively as well as jQuery-UI for the popup dialog
window and slider.  Is my use-case unusual?  I would think that others
would also benefit from having jQuery-UI packaged with Ubiquity.
Thoughts?

4. The new 0.5.3 release seems quite stable.  I was nervous about
adopting it (and developing for it) but I have to say, good job guys.
I think I'm ready to port my other commands to 0.5+ now.

Regards,
Duane Johnson
