UPGRADE: Notes

I’ve just rolled out support for Notes. These can be long, and an expando button can make the editing area bigger.

Additionally included is a new encryption caching mechanism to avoid long decryption times on large notes – this will improve the speed of decrypting large amounts of text.

UPGRADE! Export feature

Now you can export your all bookmarks. They will be encrypted, but you can decrypt them using a standard 128bit AES decryption implementation. Enjoy.

UPDATE: 2 new features

Just rolled out a couple of new featurinos to boz.

  • RSS feeds. You can now attach a cleartext label to a bookmark to add it to your RSS feed. Only the label will be sent in the clear, the link is still encrypted and you will need to go through an interim redirect page to decrypt it.

Warning: cleartext means that it is not encrypted. Anyone can read it, so use the labels judiciously. Also, if you lose your password, it’s not a password, it’s an encryption key and I do not keep a copy or ever even see your key, so make sure to remember it!

  • Tag search. You can now search your bookmarks through tags, through a box above your tags, type the tag(s) you want and it will show you matching bookmarks.

Woot!

UPGRADE: Yay!!! (no new features, void where prohibited)

I rolled out another upgrade to Boz, but it’s an invisible upgrade, you can’t notice any new features because there aren’t any ‘user features’.

Nevertheless, behind the scenes the code is a lot cleaner and it helps me sleep better at night, so it’s a good upgrade for me.

Also there’s an important bugfix: you can now edit URLs and they will stay edited, it will actually change the URL, not just ignore your request to change it. That’s definitely good news.

Finally, your username will now be reserved for an extra special new service I am working on, and stay tuned for news on that…

UPGRADE: tag suggestions and tag cloud

New update to boz:

  • tag suggestions powered by bozComplete, you can now see and autocomplete common tags you have used
  • tag cloud: your tags now sort themselves by frequency of use and appear bigger if you use them more.
  • general caching improvements leveraging dojo.storage to speed load and render time.

Yay upgrade!

UPGRADE: Tagging

I forgot to post something here, instead I thought it was good enough for my blog – tagging has been introduced to boz

I actually just rolled out a second update to this, which caches a large tag cloud for faster loading and fixes a bug with page numbering.

enjoy

UPGRADE: NEW FEATURE YAY

Now boz includes ‘stars’

A totally unique concept, not stolen in any way from Gmail, what I am calling ‘stars’ are ways to mark your bookmarks as being especially starry.

This is useful for bookmarks that you might want to keep track of, and there is a separate page just for the starred bookmarks.

UPGRADE!
