Create new Stikkits from any Mac app, the dock, Quicksilver, and/or Launchbar!

[iNik]

I just finished coding up a pretty darn robust AppleScript which lets you create a new Stikkit quickly and painlessly.

This package includes…

• An application so you can add new Stikkits right from your dock!
• An AppleScript which you can launch thru the Script Menu or your favorite alternate script launcher
• You can use the scripts with LaunchBar or Quicksilver so that you can seamlessly add new Stikkits without even leaving your current context
• Perhaps most excitingly, it also includes a “Make New Stikkit” service, so you can send text to Stikkit from within any application that supports services! (Just select text and choose "Make New Stikkit" from the services menu!)

You may use any or all of the components of this package individually to fit your own work style.

Unlike the Quicksilver AppleScript that's been running around, these programs have detailed error checking, holds your hand for setting up your API key (no need to edit the script), and includes Growl notifications!

The package is totally free and open source (GPL) so you can use it for free and even use the code as an example of how to talk to the Stikkit API.

This is impressive iNik - I'm trying it out now, and will let you know what I think.

Indeed, this is very cool. Just tried it out and it works as advertised. Thanks for the hard work iNik!

This is wonderful work, iNik! I've been using it consistently (both from the Dock and via QS) from the moment Mike mentioned it.

TUAW just did a nice writeup of Stikkit [http://www.tuaw.com/2007/01/21/stikkit-web-service-has-all-sorts-of-mac-os-x-integration]  and -- more to the point -- of the work you overlaid on it. As I just commented on their blog entry, "More than anything, I just love seeing someone turn what we've built into something else that they find even more useful. (Not to mention something we'd use ourselves.)"

Keep the hacks coming! And if you're a Mac user and haven't yet tried out iNik's work, I highly recommend it.

Best,

Rael

This is very cool.  I'm working on a Voodoo Pad tool that uses Nik's  script as a basis to upload the data from the foremost voodoo window.  I'm wondering if someone could help be with a way of allowing a download of the posted/editted stikkit back to voodoo pad to allow for a syncing function.  I'm pretty close, as in, I wrote a scraper script to get data from a given edit window, the problem is I don't know how to throw the api_key into php (what I'm using to scrape) so I can access the data.  Can you give me a hand on this?

I'm using the edit screen

http://stikkit.com/stikkits/[stikkit_ID];edit

is there way I could append the api_key to this to allow a script to get to the goodies?

Thanks,

Dan

Keep the hacks coming!

I'd love to, but I'm going to need a few more API calls for that.

Hey Nik,

What specifically?

What specifically?

The main hack I have in mind is an export of Stikkits to your iPod or Mac. So that would require that I be able to get Stikkits, and ideally pull them down by type (e.g. peeps, to-dos, events, etc...) or tag.

FYI, I just updated the package to support the final API.

Wow, Nik. And the paint wasn't even dry on the new Stikkit API logo yet ;-). Lovely to see, truly.
