Reader Bar 0.21

Reader Bar marks the previous scroll position (the screen area visible prior to scrolling, to be exact). It helps to keep track of your reading position, especially when scrolling at the very bottom or very top of a page, when scroll steps are not integral.

Available in userscript and bookmarklet flavours. Tested with Firefox and Firefox w/ Greasemonkey.

Changes from 0.2 to 0.21: Added z-index to the marker element, to make it work right on sites like Wikipedia.

Update Jan 10th: The marker currently blocks clicks in a part of the page. This will be fixed shortly.

[lang_en]Firefox Extension wanted[/lang_en][lang_de]Firefox-Extension gesucht[/lang_de]

[langen] [/langen] [langde] [/langde] I’m looking for a Firefox extension that marks the boundaries of the previous viewport after scrolling, e.g. in most cases, a horizontal bar that, when you scroll down, signals where the bottom of the previously visible screen was.

Does something like that exist, or does anyone have an idea how that could be achieved using only JavaScript? I would be willing to create an extension or userscript but … nevermind, I just thought of something. Stay tuned.

Update: It is done. Enter Reader Bar 0.2, available in userscript and bookmarklet flavours.

Habe Post, suche Anwalt

In eigener Sache: Ich suche einen Anwalt, der sich im momentanen Dschungel des deutschen Online-Rechts auskennt. Es geht dabei um userscripts.org, es wäre also schön, wenn Konzepte wie clientseitige Scripts bekannt wären ;), ansonsten evtl. um §826 BGB, das Urheber- und Markenrecht.

Ideen bitte in den Kommentaren oder per Kontaktformular.

deviantART tracker

I set up a bug/feature/enhancement tracker (or whatever you want to call it) for my Greasemonkey scripts, but also for people to submit feature requests and track bug reports for deviantART itself. It’s in no way official or affiliated with dA, but I’m hoping for more transparency in the bug fixing process of dA. Of course, I also hope that dA staff actually will check it out sometimes - if it’s used regularly, that is.

So, go ahead, enter any bugs or feature requests you find in my scripts or on dA there! For dA bugs, also submit them to helpdesk, of course, and please track the bugs in the bugtracker when you hear back from helpdesk or the developers.
