Bubbles

We've just released version 1.13, which apart of the usual improvements and bug-fixes includes a great feature we've been cooking in the stove, greasemonkey-like integration.

Version 1.13 allows .bblbox files (Bubble files, these describe what a bubble shows/how it interacts/etc) to contain JavaScript code that is invoked on a per-page basis. This allows rewriting of links, turning alerts into Bubbles - and basically anything you can come up with.

When we showed Vadim this feature, the first thing he did was write a .bblbox file that converts Google-Calendar alerts (e.g 'dinner begins in 5 minutes') into Bubble Balloons, meaning you can minimize your Google-Calendar to the tray and continue receiving your calendar-alerts, GREAT!

Here's the .bblbox file for this Google-Calendar-Bubbles trick, save it to your desktop and double-click.
If you don't have Bubbles, download it here first.

Head over to our Developers page, have a look at the samples, glance at the Reference and take your first shot at a .bblbox file Today!

We've just released Bubbles v1.12, hip hip hurray.
What's in the new version ?

• Right-Click Menus from the system-tray: sites & developers can now provide their own custom system-tray right-click menu. This makes web-sites even more like applications, and makes life easier for users.
• We've opened more things up for developers: Have a look at our Developers page to learn on the .bblbox file, the right-click-menu logic and our sweet extension to the DHTML DOM which allows bubbled sites to do some unbelievable things.
• We've cleaned things up and fixed some bugs to make your experience smoother.
  

The buzz is making it's way towards here, so welcome everybody. Remember that we're always looking for your feedback, the user. Hopefully we'll have some forum up soon for our users and developers.

That's all for now folks
