Firefox extension for Plurk coming soon

I have been using PLURK for a while and surprisingly there are no good Firefox extensions available for it. Twitter has TwitterFox and many others extensions.

This has largely to do with the fact that Plurk does not have an official API yet, unlike Twitter.

I’ve taken the initiative to come up with a Firefox extension for Plurk — PLURKfox. I started working on it this weekend, and have completed the basic “structure” for it — Sidebar icon, context menus, Preferences, etc.

What is pending is the main API integration :-)

Now, how in the world will I integrate Plurk when it does not have an API? There are several 3rd party projects that provide this support. Just search for “plurkapi” in Google and you’ll understand what I mean. The challenge though is to have it working using JavaScript, and not Perl, PHP or C#.

In future, all updates on PLURKfox will be at its own website.
