currently ubiquity loads within the calling thread of Firefox, i find that this slows the load time of Firefox significantly(i notice about 15 seconds, FIFTEEN SECONDS!), this could be solved by making it load asynchronously or by other means(such as ubiquity caching commands and reloading them slowly over a short period of time, but allowing it to only require buffering caches at start, not all your feeds)
thanks!

My name is Billy R. and I have an Idea for Ubiquity.
First I must say that this addon is the future and I say this without laughing!
My idea is the following:
we know that the key of ubiquity is to make firefox 4x faster.
we know also that the speed of command call in Ubiquity is decisive and this speed is provided by the fact that all the current commands are definitely not close at all.

So my idea is to create different packages for different type of users (some like search, others like translate, more likes chating, and even more like surfing on websites like YOUtube and dailymotion...). We should create what I could call "ubiboxes" that will help you manage your ubiquity's packages: you will call your package very fast and more you will not messed up your commands if you call one function in one package of ubiquity.

Think about it guys!!!

P.S. Is there girls in the team? If yes GREAT JOB TOO :P !

I will love to add elements to Google Note by a little Ubiquity command-line.
Simply add a link and create a note on an already created notepad !

It would be cool if typing your hotkey when ubiquity is open maked it disappear.
I use a app called quicksilver and thats how it works so i'm kind of used to it and it's also pretty intuitive.

I've been thinking about some of the similarities between Ubiquity and Launchy, and I think each project could benefit from the other. A quick overview: Both projects are based on the "type what you want to do" idea, both include capability for creating custom commands and command types.

Since this is the Mozilla section, the Ubiquity suggestion first. The command interpreter used in Launchy is extremely clever, in that it "learns", can recognise commands from any part of the name, and has an effective "Do What I Mean" system. This system can at the least provide inspiration for the one to be used in the final versions of ubiquity.

Entirely separately, a plugin for launchy to enable integration with ubiquity would be a way to make things easier, and would help to avoid hotkey conflicts such as one already mentioned here.

it would be great to be able to nest commands to further automate mashup-procedures.
like if I want to send a map to a friend from a given address i simply type s.th. like :
email(this map(this)) to johnny
to get a mail with the written address ( first this) there and get it shown via google maps (map(this)).

I know: this could complicate things as well as make it more comfortable...just an idea that would work for me.

btw.: this thing is SOOOO amazing!

How about doing "joins" on data, like "yelp restaurants near SF MOMA with (searchmenus chow mein under $5)" ... assuming there is a service "searchmenus" that has all the menus and pricing info for restaurants...

Thought I would share a simple ubiquity rss aggregator I have made for myself. It helps me to keep up with all the latest news on ubiquity. It gathers, filters and combines all the news from various sources into one simple feed:
