Scott Stevenson writes about Portable Applications on Mac OS X, commenting on how David Chartier wonders where the portable Mac OS X apps are. I’ve gotten a request from a WebnoteHappy use for a portable version of WebnoteHappy. At first I wasn’t sure what to say, but now I realize that this is […]

Two astute users experienced a crashing bug in WebnoteHappy 1.2.1 when they imported from del.icio.us. It turns out that certain URLs that have “%” in them was causing bad things to happen. These URLs are rare, but they do lurk out there. Good news though, since this is now fixed in WebnoteHappy […]

I just released an update to WebnoteHappy, a better bookmark manager for your Mac, with hot key support for OmniWeb 5.5 beta and Flock, improved communication with del.icio.us, and ongoing AppleScript improvements. There’s also a bug fix with the tokenization of the tags field in the Edit Webnote dialog.
Please download WebnoteHappy 1.2.1 - it’s […]

I just released WebnoteHappy 1.2! It’s even more del.icio.us. What do I mean by that? You now have the full roundtrip from your desktop to del.icio.us and back. The previous versions already uploaded your changes immediately to del.icio.us after you share publicly, save privately, or change any previously shared/saved webnotes. […]

The MacReviewCast reviewed WebnoteHappy last month but I haven’t gotten around to blogging it until now.

I just released WebnoteHappy 1.1 which adds support for secure communication over SSL to del.icio.us and uses the new del.icio.us API which will be required in July. Also I’m now support private del.icio.us bookmarks via a “Save privately to del.icio.us” command. I added importing of existing bookmarks for Firefox and OmniWeb users.
WebnoteHappy also […]

Importing your bookmarks into WebnoteHappy is a good way to consolidate your bookmarks into one place where you can add notes and tag them. I’ve already got import from Safari bookmarks working and if you’ve got a browser that can export to XBEL (which is almost none) then that works too. I’m working […]

One of the things that people always intend to do but a lot of us don’t do is backup.

I’m on vacation, but I found a bit of time to release the first update to WebnoteHappy, version 1.0.1. Thanks to Flip, Mike, and Jeff for doing some testing.
What’s new in this release:

Fixed a crash related to AppleScript. (Specifically creating a webnote with an empty URL.)
Updated Install Bookmarklet page to make clear that […]
