Last Week

This Week

  • Filing bugs and helping dev with any bugs that exist against my UX work

Sync (:rnewman)

Got a rudimentary SyncAdapter implemented -- fetches Sync info/collections, meta/global, your keys, unpacks them, and applies server bookmarks to the local device. Next up is proper two-way syncing, history, and such.

On my plate: feedback on sriram and lucasr's code.

Ping on IRC if you have questions or want me to join the call.
