I blogged last week about creating my first webpage to mashup some information using the Songbird Webpage API… but I thought what would be really cool would be to do it as an extension so I wouldn’t even have to leave the library view.
… also I needed to learn the Add-on API - so this was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
The end result?
Here’s a screenshot of mashTape running in Songbird (using the Blackbird Feather)

As I mentioned yesterday, I built my first Songbird extension, albeit a slightly contrived and not tremendously amazing one. However, it serves as a good example for the development process I suppose. Especially because this one also involved me having to dive into the Songbird source a little bit to find the exact routines I wanted. Even more especially because I’ve had no prior experience, so this really is the complete naive and ignorant Songbird/Firefox extension developer scenario.

Featherers,
Some of you have already discovered our new developer add-on and have been busy making new feathers. If you haven’t yet, you should also install Songbird Developer Tools, watch my Zombies vs Ninjas Feathers how-to slideshow on flickr, and get your new feathers published for the world to try.
Meanwhile, the bird builders threw down this weekend to help get the critical bug list as small as they could. That means a new blessed build later today and hopefully a solid RC2 for you this week. ‘Til then, have fun making new feathers and we’ll talk again later today.
Koshi.

Bug 3687 (Nuke the titlebar, plzkthx) is finally fixed.
Thank you thank you thank you to Håkan Waara, Steven Michaud, Colin Barret, and Josh Aas. Their hard work has restored XULRunner support for chromeless translucent windows on OS X.
Tonight’s build should be much less embarrassing on both Mac and Linux. Look for custom window chrome and a miniplayer with nice curves. Mmmmmmm.
