Any chance there could be a Safari extension, too?

[unscriptable]

I use Safari for work-related Wordpress blog posts. Would be nice to use this!

+1. I'm using Safari for private emailing. I'm looking into what'd be involved in creating a Safari extension, but I don't want to step on any toes…

This is a good idea, and I've been thinking about it as well -- I use Safari for work email on one computer, and it's always a shock when I realize that I don't have Markdown Here available. I briefly looked at the API docs for Safari extensions, and I think it won't be crazy difficult (although adding a new platform is never simple).

@martinsvalin You won't be stepping on any toes; you're welcome to code it if you wish. It'll probably be a while before I get to it: I need to finish up the new logo stuff, release the changes that add a button (fixing #34), and then I should probably tackle #33 before anything else, since it's pretty ugly to lose user changes when reverting (without warning). If I don't hear from you by the time I get to it, I'll ping you to see if you've made progress.

I've used crossrider for a project and it worked pretty well, it might be worth trying? You can put the code into it, and it'll generate an extension for each of the major browsers.

@caseywatts your link was broken. I guess you wanted to say it: http://crossrider.com

The Safari version is basically complete. I need to do some testing and release prep, and I'll probably release by the weekend.

If anyone feels like beta testing (and not running from source), you can get the build here:
http://update.markdown-here.com/markdown-here.safariextz

It should even update successfully when the real release is made.

Feedback is welcome, of course.

Tried it. It works for my use cases. 👍 easy $5 donation :)

You are donation number 2! Thank you.

I should have mentioned that the platform-specific code for this is in a wrapper project (with this project as a git submodule). Here: https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here-safari

The Safari version is released for real as of 5 minutes ago. Any of you who installed the beta build should automatically get updated. I think. Check if you have 2.8.0. (Or just uninstall and reinstall.)

Enjoy.

Have any of you Safari users received the 2.8.1 update? My test machine hasn't, but maybe it's just slow to check...

[adam-p]

Should have just piggy-backed on the previous question, but...

Have any of you experienced the behaviour in #79? And which Safari version do you use? Maybe I'm also asking: How many of us use Safari 5.1?

[martinsvalin]

I use Safari 6.0.5, haven't experienced the bug, and I've received the update (though I don't know when; I just noticed it now that I opened up Safari prefs for extensions… I'll install it now, though).

[adam-p]

That's great. Thanks.
