Write Code to Help You

March 23rd, 2008 by possible248

I write little tools to help me all the time. An example of this is “Headliner” (source code coming soon). Headliner is a small prototype web app that takes in an essay title or newspaper headline and gives it the right capitalization. To save space, newspapers only capitalize the first word in each sentence in the headline.

Essay titles capitalize every word except for prepositions and articles (a, an, the). Headliner knows these rules and applies them on the headlines that you enter into it.

        Like I did today (2008-03-29) by writing a Greasemonkey script to automatically reload the Inbox of my school mail system every two minutes?

        @voyagerfan5761: Yes. Exactly. :D

        In the future I want to improve that script to put an indicator in the title of the page when a new message arrives. I can either count the number of rows that are unread (impractical since I don't read everything, and can't mark things as read) by reading the bgcolor property of the (stupid no-CSS template!) or figure out how to use Greasemonkey value storage and notify on a change. Needs thought...

        I did actually add an unread counter. It counts the number of elements that have bgcolor="#eeeeee". Not the most elegant way to implement the feature, but it gets the job done.
