Snapzu seems considerably more "snappier", any changes recently?

I noticed pages are loading much quicker for me as of late -- anyone notice it too?

  Sorry to hear that, at times websites will kick out / lockout bookmarklet functionality due to the way the website is programmed, or when websites have security against such software. If you can PM me, or even post here a short list of websites that are timing out the bookmarklet, I would be happy to look into it and make some modifications that would hopefully bring that number down considerably.

    That’s “SnapIt!” It’s a bit of Javascript code that you can bookmark. What it’s meant to do is help you to submit snaps more easily. Say you’ve found a webpage you’d like to submit as a snap, you can hit the bookmark, which invokes the code, preparing a snap for you. You can get to it from your Profile Overview on the right under a button called Bookmark. Hit that button and a popup appears with the bookmarklet itself. Drag it to your bookmark bar, then hit SnapIt! whenever you like. It’s trickier with mobile browsers but it can be made to work. However, it’s failing most of the time and has for the last few days. When it works, though, it’s a gas!

      Oh yeah, I have it but I never remember to use it. Perhaps I'll try it again. Do you have to update it? Has the javascript changed lately?

        I don’t believe so. The Javascript we see looks like so much syntactic sugar, so it would seem the internals aren’t exposed. DrunkenNinja’s the authority there..

        When I try it, it just tells me it can't bookmark https sites. So not much use to me ATM.

        @kxh -
        Secure HTTP adoption's soared lately. I'd assumed Apache and other server software collectively threw a switch or sumpthin' but whatever it was, it's got springs and sparks flying out all over the place. It'll settle down sometime.

      Well put! We will overhaul the bookmarklet to hopefully work with 90%+ of webpages in the next couple of weeks. Any feedback of URLS that are not working with the bookmarklet would be very helpful however, please PM me, or post here and I will use along with my own testing to improve as much as possible.

If you're noticing a slight speed improvement that's great to know! We had to change a number of things in order to prep for the HTTPS update we did a couple of days ago (if anyone notices any issues with their connection not being private, please PM me asap). Leading up to the prep however we optimized a number of things on the DB, as well as made some miscellaneous changes in a few other areas to maximize performance.
