make some cool stuff for 43t

• A one-liner to make ‘Worth Doing’ the default option
• A still slightly buggy quick tagger

• The left-margin on each span_element#### is based on your screen width. I’m not sure what I should do to make it right.
• Deleting tags will update the first span_element### rather than the appropriate one (the correct goal is detagged, however). I’ve not bothered trying to fix this yet. It should be a simple fix.

Now if only Firefox would fix bug 241518, I could stop using Opera for 43Things and these would be of use to me again.

too much is on my plate already, i’m afraid.

A cheer alarm is a super useful thing. If I ever figure out how to package it up so that normal people can use it, I’ll share it. As well as the neat little picture, there’s an audio notification as well. I figured having the visual popup would be useful for when I’m actually in the office!

one is really ambitious, but i think it would be really cool…the problem with cheers is that they sometimes aren’t available when we have lots of free time and are available when we don’t. i want to create something that would allow us to create lists of what we’d like to cheer and then automatically check for cheers and cheer from the list. i think a program like this could go a long way toward reducing cheer addiction.

ideally, i’d like to have rules like “if the cheer came from user x, then cheer one of the goals i’ve said i want to cheer on user x’s list”, and otherwise cheer from the general list.

the problem is i don’t have much of an idea of how to implement some aspects of this, such as an easy way to let users mark which goals they want to cheer (maybe a small window that can be opened beside the main one when browsing?) and ways to look at stuff on the site that doesn’t involve parsing the html. (maybe i could use the api, but last time i checked it didn’t have anything about cheers.)

does anyone have related comments, ideas, or suggestions?

another idea i have seems like it won’t be too difficult so maybe i will do it in a few weeks (though things are usually more difficult than they seem) and tell you about it then.

and of course, the already cheered script could use improvement, but i was hoping the robots would see that people really wanted that feature and implement it, so i didn’t want to waste time working on something that wouldn’t be useful for much longer…maybe i will try to see if they plan to work on it.

there are also two non-43t related web apps i want to create…
