##About

The current web interface is the ideal way to use stack exchange apps. I intend to improve this experience for safari users with a "Safari Extension" which enhances the current web experience in a number of ways:

 - Buttons which take you directly to the appropriate web site, and shows your reputation points as a badge value (can be seen in screen shot).
 - Extension bars which contain an overview of your account including rep points, badge count, and possibly more (still working on it).
 - Scripts which add functionality to the site, such as question "quick view" which provides a look at a question without navigating away from the home page.

###License

I dont know about a license yet ... but if I provide the source code, I really don't care what anyone does with it. 

###Download

I will provide a "latest" link as well as links for each version during development.

 - [Latest (0.1)][3]

 - [Version 0.1][4]

##Code

The code is entirely JavaScript (limitation of Safari extensions).

The real hard work is done by [George Edison's wrapper code][5], which in turn uses the [jQuery][6] library to parse JSON notation and make sense of it.

##Current Caveats

To be honest, this bit is partially my list of "things to fix" and partially for your information.

 1. <strike>user preferences are not being read and changing them has no effect</strike>
 2. <strike>badges are for my account, and cannot be changed yet</strike>
 3. the extension bars are not operational yet
 4. the initial lookup is performed, but even though all the badges are being updated, the value is not shown for a while sometimes.
 5. clicking the buttons will always open the site in a new tab. it should ideally open in the current window if it is empty.
