Panic Demos 'Coda Notes' Extension for Safari 5


Just hours after Apple released Safari 5 with support for extensions created by third-party developers, Panic has demoed 'Coda Notes', an extension allowing for website annotation and sharing.

When you install Coda Notes, you'll get a new button in your toolbar. Click it to see all our annotation tools, built right into Safari. Draw some notes on your favorite website. Communicate changes, ideas, concepts, or problems. Then, when you're done, hit the Send Notes button and the whole page flips over as a postcard.

Panic notes that Coda Notes is buit entirely with JavaScript, HTML and CSS and was built in only four days. The extension is still considered a "quick and dirty" implementation, however, and Panic will continue to refine it before releasing it to the public.

Never mind, they just released it. In any case, let the extensions start flowing.

Did Apple give them early access to Safari 5 or the Extension Developer Docs?

EDIT: Nevermind. Just found out they demo'd at WWDC apparently. :P

Panic and Steve Jobs have a history.

Panic was >this close< to being the developers of one of the world's most used app (iTunes) and missed out. Steve likes them and I wouldn't be surprised to see them making it big with Apple at some point.

No innovation with search, unfortunately. :( The Extension doesn't let you touch the search field, so no Inquisitor. Major bummer.

This is a great time for browser tech. With HTML 5, and with strong competition from Firefox and Chrome, Safari has to work hard to keep up. We benefit from this.

I'm already a big fan of Safari Reader. Wow, what a difference it makes!

That's looks really useful, but most clients I deal with use Windows (and Explorer I assume). Will be useful for my comments to agencies though.

The readability bookmarklet is superior. You can do sticky fonts and sizes and control background color to some extent. But it's a start.
