After the deluge of new users from last week’s Lifehacker.com article, followed by a full day on the front page of delicious, I ended up with an inbox full of bug reports. While there were a few pernicious actual “bugs” in there (sorry to everyone who ended up with the ‘can’t delete items’ bug, that’s fixed too), most of them fell into two buckets:
- It doesn’t work in Amazon.ca, or Amazon.co.uk
- Can I control what product condition (Used/New) or Vendor (Amazon/Others) it watches?
While the second one is proving a little difficult, I’m happy to announce that the new version of BuyLater has full support for Canada and the UK! If you haven’t tried it out yet, you should. And if you’re an extension developer yourself, feel free to grab the source code from github.com and have a look.
A big thank you to everyone who sent in a bug report – if you keep ‘em comin, I’ll keep fixin them. Other planned enhancements for the next version include:
- Product condition and vendors (as mentioned above)
- Fine-grained notification controls (including direct, non-twitter SMS and IM delivery)
- Being able to delete your account (probably by providing notification when the plugin is uninstalled)
- More countries
- More shopping portals
On that last note, what would you like to see next? EBay? More book sellers? Alienware? What?
