Ask HN: Do you have an idea for a bookmarklet that you wish someone would make?

6 pointsby nathanathanover 9 years ago
I am developing a tool for launching scripts that do things similar to actions performed by bookmarklets via natural language commands. I am looking for use cases to develop scripts for that would get people interested in using this tool. I am interested in RFIs for bookmarklets because most can be adapted into actions launched via command.<p>To give an idea of the type of thing I am looking for, these are some commands I&#x27;ve already implemented:<p>* &quot;search revisions for X&quot; on a Wikipedia article will search the article&#x27;s revisions for the given phrase.<p>* &quot;measure speed&quot; on a YouTube dash cam video will try to measure the vehicles speed based on the frequency median lines go by.<p>* &quot;plot locations&quot; extracts locations mentioned on a webpage and plots them on a map.
