Hack: Simple BubbleMail Preview

Please note that this hack is no longer needed because the new bubblemail system has a preview facility.

Inspired by this thread (although it is a subject that has come up many times before) on the RedBubble forums I’ve created a Greasemonkey script to implement a very simple BubbleMail preview facility.

It works by adding a preview button to your screen when you compose a new BubbleMail:

When you press the button a preview of your BubbleMail will appear below the button:

It’s not perfect. It has some issues. But it’s a start.

See over here for more details about the script and to get a copy.

    You really need a red dot beside your name.

    Thank you Dave :)

    Thanks Tracy, although I think the red dot is for the people who do the real hard work. I’m just having fun messing around the edges. ;)

    Thanks MT.

    Hopefully this sort of thing will make it into RB proper at some point, and in a way that is useful to everyone, not just people using Firefox and Greasemonkey.

    Verily and Forsooth great Dave, he who reads Binary.
    From my understanding they’ve got one monkey trained real good now, and he’s chatting to the new stock and teaching them. however as the new guys arent monkeys, but are in fact guinea pigs, there is a communication problem.
    in short, im sure things will happen, its just a matter of how hard the monkey works the g.pigs.

    and no im not an official person from redbubble. so dont listen to me on anything.

    You understood that Dave?? You are smarter than we thought before!!

    Understood? Hell no. But it still read as funny as hell. It was almost Pythonesque. :D

    (pssst …) For heaven’s sake don’t tell him about the damn llamas that print the tshirts!!

  • Dave Pearsonbeta tester replied

    Everyone should know about the Llamas. Llamas are an important part of the history of software. They’re partly responsible for me getting into software development.

    /me goes off to dream of the good old days of playing Llamasoft games and thinking “I want to do this!”
