User didn’t install your commands detection
Since MOBhat has so many steps to get setup, a Troubleshooting page would be helpful. The first common issue is people skipping the Ubiquity install step, completing the rest of the steps and then getting stuck or confused. I’m using Ubiquity behind the scenes, so it’s optional for the user to use the command line. Since I don’t have them invoke it, or describe it in detail, it’s an easy step to skip. The Troubleshoot link above detects if you’ve installed the MOBhat command feed. If not it displays an error and gives instructions. If Ubiquity had a <noscript> like mechanism, then I could detect if Ubiquity wasn’t installed earlier. View the HTML source of the page, the technique might be useful on your command feed pages. If so just add a pageLoad command like this to your command feed:
function pageLoad_detectNoUbiquity(){ var doc = Application.activeWindow.activeTab.document; var url = doc.location.href; var troubleshoot = "http://mobhat.restservice.org/welcome/troubleshoot"; if (url == troubleshoot) { jQuery('.no-ubiquity', Application.activeWindow.activeTab.document).hide(); jQuery('.ubiquity', Application.activeWindow.activeTab.document).show(); } }

New Screencast about "OFace", an experiment in social identity faceting on top of FriendFeed. Check it out and give me feedback. I'll be looking for peeps as I get closer to having a working service. Although it isn't mentioned in the video, this is powered by a (half) built php app, a ubiquity script, and FriendFeed's backend.

How do I update a “non auto-updating” subscription for Ubiquity? I have been subscribing with auto-updating for most Ubiquity commands, but i wrote a really simple command copy-page-title-gist that I didn’t see updating very often, so I didn’t set it to auto-update. Later I added some description, but I couldn’t figure out how refresh the command. I expected it to be at about:ubiquity > Your Commands and figured the feature wasn’t implemented yet. I figured wrong! On the about:ubiquity page if you scroll way down there is Subscribed Feeds. From here you can see updates in green.
