I am a BIG fan of One True Fan. Maybe even “the” one true fan of One True Fan. ; )

I’ve noticed recently that I have been hiding the One True Fan bar a lot for various reasons. I really love the bar but I don’t always want to see it, but at the same time I always want it to be there. So… I built a Kynetx app that solves my problem and maybe others will find it useful also.

Minimal One True Fan is a Chrome and Firefox Extension that

1. looks for the One True Fan bar on the page
2. hides the bar
3. takes the checked in status button and places it in the bottom left corner of the page
4. clicking on the status button will bring the bar back

See the Minimal One True Fan Kynetx app and the One True Fan extensions in action!

Update 01/04/2011

Updated the app to also show the avatar of the current One True Fan of the current site because who doesn’t love to see if they are the One True Fan? : D

The other day I misstyped a URL and now Google Chrome auto suggests the wrong URL every time. To remove this auto suggestion on cr-48

1. Start typing the URL so it will auto suggest it
2. Use keyboard shortcut ctrl + alt + backspace

Doing this immediately removed the suggestion from my Chrome history on my cr-48 for Chrome OS

I’ve gotten sick of constantly going to web pages where the main thing I want to do is a search and the site doesn’t put my cursor focus in the search input box. Gah!

I have decided to make a Kynetx app that helps me with this annoyance and you are free to use it and give feedback (things like, ‘I wish it worked on this site’ or ‘Dude! This is awesome!’).

Example Code

*It is currently only helping on a few sites but I will be adding sites as I run across them and people suggest them.

If you have the extension installed and working, you can see a list of domains that the app is helping you focus on at the end of this post inserted by the extension.

If you had the extension installed and running properly, you would see this replaced with a list of the sites that the extension is currently helping on

I use both GetGlue and OneTrueFan chrome extensions and sometimes when they both load on a page they step on each other.

So, because I want to use both and didn’t want to wait for OneTrueFan to fix the problem, I created a simple Kynetx app that runs as a browser extension and fixes the problem if it detects both on the page. : )
