I was thinking of doing something like this without the GAE component, purely on-browser. Obviously your solution has many advantages, like automatic browser compatibility. Also, it exists.

Is it open source? I'd like to help you add other sites. For instance, I'd like to have the Metafilter and BoingBoing reactions available too.

Please make this into a Chrome extension or FF add-on though.

I know myself, I'll forget to click the bookmarklet...

Would you be any more likely to click a toolbar button? If you mean finding threads automatically, wouldn't that have privacy implications as it would have to send every url you visit back to them?

Use this: http://sandbox.self.li/bookmarklet-to-extension/

I am also not doing any GAE stuff, its just some static files. Presently all things are happening on client side.

Actually I also thought of integrating Metafilter, but they don't have JSONP api as of now.

Anyways will opensource it soon, and can integrate other sites with serverside component.

Thanks!
