A toolbar you actually want to use (No download, no registration)

http://www.dashler.com/toolbar/ Dashler Toolbar is a bookmarklet that opens up a toolbar of shortcuts to various webpages, and allows for super easy bookmarking. You can open the toolbar, highlight content, then open up a floating window of the results on any of (currently) dozens of websites, like Wikipedia, IMDb, various dictionaries, translate, etc. Some shortcuts use the URL or Domain of the page you are at. For example, you can jump to Quantcast/Alexa results for the page you're viewing, shorten the URL, or search within the site with Google and ilk. [Advanced: For shortcuts that use a…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

http://www.dashler.com/toolbar/ Dashler Toolbar is a bookmarklet that opens up a toolbar of shortcuts to various webpages, and allows for super easy bookmarking. You can open the toolbar, highlight content, then open up a floating window of the results on any of (currently) dozens of websites, like Wikipedia, IMDb, various dictionaries, translate, etc. Some shortcuts use the URL or Domain of the page you are at. For example, you can jump to Quantcast/Alexa results for the page you're viewing, shorten the URL, or search within the site with Google and ilk. [Advanced: For shortcuts that use a URL, you can drag and drop links onto them to activate that shortcut. While dragging a URL, eligible shortcuts will turn green.] The toolbar is customizable via drag and drop. You can drag and drop to re-organize the toolbar and/or add shortcuts and tools. Use "Quick Find" to find shortcuts for sites you're interested in, or related to the page you're viewing. For example, there are some neat HN tools (threaded comments, sort by hotness, etc) that I use daily. To add them, search for "HN" in quick find, or open the toolbar at a HN page and click "find related shortcuts". You can create folders / subfolders and organize your toolbar to your hearts content. Dashler Toolbar also works well for managing bookmarks. You can bookmark the current page from the Main Menu, or you can drag and drop any links on the page you're viewing. Title and tags will automatically be pulled from Delicious, and you can instantly search for anything you've bookmarked by URL, title, or tag. Finally, it works on all modern browsers. Create an account in seconds (no e-mail required, just username and password), and have a synchronized toolbar across all computers and browsers. Let me know what you think.

    I asked an HN member for feedback and she blew my mind▲453

    A few days ago, I responded to a comment by bloggergirl offering to read anyone's web copy and help. I shot off an email hoping for a paragraph or two of feedback on my startup's copy. Instead I received a professional, detailed deck of tons of invaluable well thought out feedback. It must have taken her an entire afternoon. Here's a link to it: http://www.slideshare.net/shereefb/recommendations-for-bettermeans To top it off, this isn't someone with a lot of free time on her hands, she's only days away from launching her own startup (page99test) This community blows my mind!

    Review my project: MarkUp, a tool to draw on any webpage.▲90

    Here's the website: http://markup.io/ We created MarkUp at Medium to help make the QA process better for sites we're working on. Grab the MarkUp bookmarklet, go to some page in your browser, then click it to draw on the page. Publish to make a link you can share. We've tried similar tools like BounceApp, Notable, and Skitch. Everything else we found is screenshot-based or takes us out of the browser. We wanted something that felt quicker than screenshots and more integrated with the browsing experience. Instead of taking a screenshot, MarkUp snapshots the DOM in the current page, strips the…
