How about the JotNot iPhone application?

A comment on the question "Why can't we access/edit Address Book from within mail.app?" in Apple:

Since mail, address book and safari are so closely linked, I figure that I should be able to access a person's address book entry (via a sidebar?) without opening the address book. For example, if someone emails me their favourite colour, I'd like to be able to stick it in the notes section of the address book. – Bruce, on June 13, 2009 00:39

I meant be able to modify address book information from within mail.app.

We could add notes, change address info, etc. It would be great!

Bruce asked a question in Postbox, Inc. on February 12, 2009 18:12:

Displaying unread messages

How do you display unread messages only?
Thunderbird had a feature that I can't find in Postbox...

How about a Quick Reply feature?

Lovin' it so far...
How about a Quick Reply feature a la Opera? 75% of my email use would benefit from this.

Bruce replied on January 15, 2009 19:13 to the question "How about an "Open this link in LittleSnapper" bookmarklet or Firefox extension?" in Realmac Software:

I realize that it's difficult/impossible to run an application from a Firefox bookmarklet, but I noticed that cssedit.app does it somehow. You can see the bookmarklets at http://www.macrabbit.com/cssedit/book....
I think they are creating a new kind of protocol that Firefox calls.
Take a look, make some magic!

Bruce replied on January 15, 2009 19:11 to the idea "How about linking the thumb to the page it came from?" in plasq:

I was thinking that if you made a "Open this page in Skitch" bookmarklet, the URL would be passed to Skitch and it would be that much easier to create the corresponding thumbnail code.

I would like to link the websnap to the page from which it came.

I want to post images in my blog that link back to the cool websites they came from.
The resulting code would be like (a href = "coolpage.com")(img src="quicksnapper.com/me/coolimage.jpg")(/a).
I'm sure this is possible because the quicksnapper page contains a link to the page from which the Websnap came.
This would cause a revolution in blogging!

I don't know if it would be done with javascript, but it would be great!

Bruce replied on January 09, 2009 18:35 to the idea "Link screenshot to Source URL" in Orange Peel Media:

Very good point. How about a hard-coded "This image provided by Scrnshots.com" message?

Bruce replied on January 09, 2009 01:08 to the idea "Link screenshot to Source URL" in Orange Peel Media:

After I snap a picture off cnn.com and post it to scrnshots.com, I want to create this HTML code:
(a href ="http://www.cnn.com")(img src="http://scrnshots.com/user/thepicture.jpg")(/a)
This way I can post images/thumbnails from cool pages I find on the web, and have visitors click on them to go to the page.

Link screenshot to Source URL

I know that scrnshots.com contains the URL from which screenshots are taken, so why isn’t there an option (under Links & Embeds) to get the HTML code linking the screenshot to the original page?
I want to publish my screenshots, and then stick code on my blog linking the image to the page from which it came.
Thanks!

Bruce replied on November 12, 2008 19:07 to the idea "Posting to multiple services simultaneously" in The Cosmic Machine:

Allowing one to post to Ping.fm would be good. That will post to other services simultaneously.

Bruce started following the idea "I'd like to get links to MySkitch upload page without opening browser" in plasq.

Bruce replied on November 12, 2008 08:02 to the idea "How about linking the thumb to the page it came from?" in plasq:

Correct! You might make the thumbnail of the whole page or just one part. in the apple.com example, you might make a thumb of just one image on the page that takes you to apple.com.

How about linking the thumb to the page it came from?

I think it would be great if the webpost feature had an option to post a thumbnail with a link to the page from which the thumb was taken.
For example, I might create a thumbnail from a portion of an image on a page, and stick that thumbnail in a blog with a link to the original page.

Bruce asked a question in Soup on July 12, 2008 07:26:

Where can I find the default CSS definitions?

I want to see what flexibility Soup has in changing the look of my blog.
