Show HN: Create and share javascript bookmarklets (bookmarkify.it)

4 points by mosselman ↗ HN
Today I'd like to show you a small tool I created to learn about Rails a while back. It is pretty basic, but works very well for my own things.

Just write or paste whatever javascript you want to run, you can even include external libs. When you save just drag the link to your browser bar.

A script I use often is one that makes video's on websites bigger when clicked.

Tell me what you think.

Good work.

Quick suggestion: why not let people save their bookmarklets in your site and build a bookmarklet directory?

Thanks xcubic.

Yes, I was playing with that idea, although I dislike the thought of having to register/login to yet another site. Maybe this is a good opportunity to try something else instead. The obvious options are logging in with facebook, github, etc. But maybe there is another way to conveniently couple users to their bookmarklets.

A directory is something that has been on my mind as well, this way people who are less tech-savvy can still profit of people who put a lot of effort into their bookmarklets.

Maybe you can simply let people publish anonymously too, without having to do registrations and logins.
I will take this into consideration as well.
