Minor GridFox update

Monday, June 29th, 2009

In 2007, Brandon Turner and I created a Firefox Add On called GridFox, which helps you verify your website’s grid-based design.

% pageviews for puidokas.com 6/17/09-6/24/09Since its creation, its easily been the most trafficked page on this site. To the right are some pageview stats from last week.

The extension has remained unchanged for 2 years, but these pageview stats have finally made me feel guilty enough to give it some love. I began development on version 2 of GridFox last week, but quickly realized there were a couple simple updates I could release now.

Change log for GridFox 1.2

  • Moved extension to addons.mozilla.org (this let’s me automatically send out updates for future versions)
  • Added “Hide Grid” button
  • Updated compatibility to Firefox 3.5
  • Changed Opacity to slider control
  • Added hotkey to toggle grid (WIN:alt+ctrl+g, OSX: opt+cmd+g)
  • Upgraded to a new, shinier icon

Head over to the GridFox page to grab the latest version.
