Hampr Mobile compatible with iPhone, Android, Pre

• Posted by Ryan Finnie on January 7, 2010, 12:42 am

Two years ago, an "iPhone" version of the Hampr web interface was released, optimized for the iPhone web browser. Well, here we are in The Future, and the same interface works equally well on many WebKit-based mobile browsers. The Hampr Mobile interface has been tested on:

• iPhone (all versions)
• Android 1.6 & 2.0 (including T-Mobile G1, Droid, and the upcoming Google Nexus One)
• Palm Pre/Pixi (and presumably future WebOS-based mobile phones)

In light of this, the interface is now available a https://www.hampr.com/mobile/webkit (the old URL, https://www.hampr.com/iphone, will continue to work). When you log into https://www.hampr.com/, the mobile link at the bottom-right corner of the page will be customized according to what mobile device it detects ("iPhone Version", "Android Version", etc), but the interface itself is the same for all WebKit-based mobile devices.

All phones listed above allow you to bookmark the Hampr Mobile interface and save the bookmark on your home screen. No "App" needed! And of course, while on the desktop, be sure to download the Hampr Firefox extension.

Hampr Firefox extension 2.2 released

• Posted by Ryan Finnie on January 1, 2010, 2:39 pm

Hampr is a free, centralized, personal bookmark manager. Hampr is designed for users who want access to their bookmarks from several locations, such as home, work and school. Hampr is similar in concept to del.icio.us, but is not public in nature.

Changes in version 2.2 of the Hampr Firefox extension include:

• Extension is now aware of Firefox's Offline mode, and will not try network operations when Offline.
• A copy of a recent server refresh will be stored locally periodically, and will be used when a new window is opened and the extension is accessed, before the extension has had a chance to get updates from the server.
• Extension has been tested against Firefox 3.6 beta.

Please visit the extension home page and give it a try! Hampr is fully OpenID-enabled; for information about creating an account, please visit the login page.

Hampr Firefox extension 2.1 released

• Posted by Ryan Finnie on October 10, 2009, 6:57 pm

Hampr is a free, centralized, personal bookmark manager. Hampr is designed for users who want access to their bookmarks from several locations, such as home, work and school. Hampr is similar in concept to del.icio.us, but is not public in nature.

Changes in version 2.1 of the Hampr Firefox extension include:

• Fixed URL handling when adding a link via the context menu (right-click) when the link is also an image
• Improved caching efficiency of the Quick Add and Delete functions
• Localized the "Firefox Bookmarks" submenu text
• Adding a link via the context menu now pre-populates the title based on best guess: link title attribute (often set by Wordpress themes), link text content, link image title attribute, or link image alt attribute
• Stylized the context menu items with icons (on supported platforms)
• Context menu items are hidden when the user is not logged in

Hampr Firefox extension 2.0.0 released

• Posted by Ryan Finnie on June 1, 2009, 2:01 am

Hampr is a free, centralized, personal bookmark manager. Hampr is designed for users who want access to their bookmarks from several locations, such as home, work and school. Hampr is similar in concept to del.icio.us, but is not public in nature.

After a lengthy development period, I am proud to announce the second major release of the Hampr Firefox extension. The Hampr Firefox extension can be installed on multiple computers, which will all have concurrent, convenient access to your entire Hampr bookmark collection.

The 2.0.0 extension is a complete rewrite, and introduces new major functionality. The most visible change is the placement. By default, the extension installs itself in the same place as the Bookmarks menu (on Windows and Linux), but you can choose instead to place is next to the Bookmarks menu, as a sub-menu, or even as a toolbar menu button. Other new features include:

* Added tags support
* Bookmarks display can be picked: recent, untagged, or specific tag
* Added ability to load more bookmarks
* Added page context menu integration
* Added network caching
* Many added display preferences
* Many bug fixes and minor enhancements
