Speedboat for Hojoki Extension

Speedboat for Hojoki is a small, unofficial extension that loads Hojoki's mobile site in a dropdown.

While simple, it means that you don't need to keep Hojoki open in a tab to sneak a quick peak at the latest items in your feed.

I'm not linked to Hojoki in any way (except as an enthusiastic user) and this extension doesn't handle your login, it simply loads the mobile site in an iframe so your data is, and always will be, between you and Hojoki.

Visit hojoki.com to learn more about their service.

The code is open sourced under the GPLv3 and you can get the source code on GitHub : github.com/agryson/Speedboat

*** WHAT'S NEW: ***
v0.3.4: Bugfixes
v0.3.3: Updated to new Hojoki styling (work in progress), updated to new manifest version (2)
v0.3: Settings panel to choose a default workspace.

Guillaume Boudreau (ID: 0000001d53826290) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/23/2012 Really nice. Would love it if the popup would remember the last used workspace, and load that the next time I open it... I often work a lot in the same workspace before switching to another one (@work,@home, ...) so this would save me a couple clicks each time I open the popup. Is the source code available (on Github maybe)? I could probably send a pull request that would add this (as an option, if you think other people would not want that).
