What Are Browser Apps?

Browser apps extend the way users interact with their favorite sites by adding new functionality directly to any site. Browser apps can augment any site, like Facebook and Twitter, add more information to search results and extend your reach beyond your own web domain. Kynetx enables apps that are more aware of user context, identity and the events they generate across the Web.

Featured Kynetx Browser App: TomatoFlix

Netflix
With TomatoFlix installed as a browser app you are able to see the movie ratings from Rotten Tomatoes integrated into Netflix, IMDB, Redbox, Fandango and Movies.com. It's so nice to have the rating from Rotten Tomatoes inline when visiting other websites. Many thanks to Steven Nay for developing a useful and pratical browser app.

Install TomatoFlix at the Kynetx Browser Apps Marketplace.

Global Constant: A KRL module for StringBin

This morning I wrote my first KRL module. If you remember from February, Sam Curren wrote a Google Calendar module that I used in my own Kynetx app for CS 462. Sam has since written the entire Kynetx Twilio functionality as a module. I’ve had some ideas brewing for modules I’d like to write. So I started today with a really simple one: StringBin.

StringBin is a service that Mike Grace wrote a while ago. It basically lets you store key-values pairs. That’s it. There are two endpoints in the API: read and write. Both are accessed via GET.

Kynetx's New Sandboxed Browser Extensions

I recently released my “Old School Retweet” Kynetx app in the Kynetx app store for the newly released browser extensions. I super love the new extensions and all that they do for users and developers alike. Something that I forgot when I released the app in the app store is that the new extension are sandboxed.

Because the extensions are sandboxed, all of the scripts from the extensions run a bit differently than they used to in the previous Kynetx extensions. Without getting into the technical details too much, the previous extensions just injected JavaScript into the page and the new extensions run JavaScript in a sandbox which has access to the DOM but can’t access anything else on the page. Because of this change my retweet app broke since I was using the jQuery loaded by Twitter.com to bring up the new tweet box (I do this because Twitter.com used that library to bind a click event and to trigger that event it has to be from the same library that bound it). Thankfully, with the help of a friend, I was able to get a work around for both Firefox and Chrome’s sandbox environment.
