Xara Doesn't Work, Tasty for Firefox

October 12, 2005

So what's the deal with the Xara demo, anyway? Slashdot made a big stink about their demo, how it would revolutionize vector drawing programs for Linux, and all that jazz. I've been using Inkscape quite a bit lately, so I was anxious to see what the Xara demo had to offer. As far as I can tell, the demo is sourceforge-ware — it looks like about 2 hours of work in Glade, plus a page that promises all sorts of cool features, eventually.

I ported the awesome Delicious plugin for Firefox to work with Tasty. You can download the XPI here (most features seem to work okay, but my port consisted basically of a massive 's/del.icio.us/tasty.pablotron.org/ig', so caveat emptor).
