BenWard / pinboard-full.js

Created January 29, 2011 07:47

A smarter bookmarklet for Pinboard.in; wraps selected text in <blockquote> tags, keeps variables out of the global scope, supports filling tags from rel="tag" markup in the page, and titles from hAtom entry titles.

	(function() {
	// Change `silent` to true to invoke the promptless, self-closing
	// version of the bookmarklet.
	var silent = false;

	var url = location.href;
	var title = document.title;

	// Look for a single hAtom entry on the page, and iff one is found, extract
	// the entry-title in place of the document title:

Created October 4, 2010 22:13

From the files of ‘stupid one line scripts that the world should not need’, this takes a URL from a JavaScript-based app like Twitter or Hype Machine and presents you with an easily copyable, real URL that doesn't contain any ‘#’ nonsense.
