Topic: Miscellaneous / Is there an app like Pyro for Backpack?

Just wondering if someone has made an OSX app like Pyro but for Backpack.

Pyro is a standalone OSX app for Campfire if you aren’t sure what I’m talking about. Info: http://www.karppinen.fi/pyro/

Topic: Feature Requests / Favlet to save pages

Interesting thought, Core.B. I haven’t looked into the API myself, and maybe when I get some free time (agreed, that’s laughable) I’ll look into this as well. It’ll be my first contribution to the Backpack world!

Topic: Feature Requests / Favlet to save pages

Hey guys. Long-time Backpack and Basecamp user. Love your stuff.

I have a very simple feature request that would keep me coming back to Backpack even more…

Throughout the day, I come upon links from friends, family, or just by surfing. I can’t read them at that specific time, so I save them for later. The dinosaur way is through the bookmarks manager in the browser (I use Camino). The semi-new way is through social bookmarking sites, like Magnolia or Delicious. Both of those have no interest because I really only care to browse for myself, and I’m sure many people are the same way.

A new idea recently came out by the maker of Tumblr called Instapaper; I’m sure you’ve probably heard of it. Funny thing is I made a Rails app for myself doing the same exact function—it took about a full Saturday afternoon to build it out in Rails.

It would be fantastic, though, if there was some way Backpack could get a system to save URLs via a bookmarklet. Before I made this rails app for myself, I used to copy the URL, open up Backpack, find my “URLs for later” note, and paste it in there. Too many steps compared to a nice little favlet.

If you ask me, Backpack is a perfect place to utilize this functionality and I know I personally would comeback and use Backpack even more.

What do you think?
