Calculated menu items
One of my secret subdomains (tm) just got popular — super OS X menubar items, a big list of menu extras. I’m still working on it, though.
I have a theory: any page with something vaguely new involving OS X, freeware, web design, and/or color gets up to the Delicious popular list sooner or later. Low threshold for “useful” things + a big old percolating cluster = profit! (sort of)
Things that super OS X menubar items will include when I can figure out how to code or include them:
- A short explanation of how to use and get rid of menubar items
- Category pages
- Groups of interesting items: the colorful ones, the iTunes ones, the all-text ones, etc.
- The list of rejected items (with reasons)
- A form for submitting suggestions
- Filtering by cost, openness, icon style, quality, maybe publisher
- Maybe: A separate list of the ones included with OS X
Also, I have like fifty new items to try out and possibly add.

Aren't we the popular one. I'll help code some stuff, if you'd like.
