In-browser OPML editing
By Dave Winer on Friday, July 09, 2010 at 11:37 AM.

Here's a bookmarklet written by Marc Barrot: #

iJotEdit #

As with all bookmarklets, you install it by dragging it from the web page into the icon bar in your browser. #

Now, with the browser open to this page, click on the bookmarklet and prepare to have your socks blown off! :-) #

The source of the page opens in the browser, in an outliner, where you can browse it and edit it. The editing doesn't save back to the server, yet -- but it will. (Of course only if you have permission to edit the document.) #

Marc already had a web outliner called iJot. I showed him how Scripting2 embeds a link to the OPML source in every page. From there it was relatively easy to detect the OPML and open it.  #

A lot of people will want to edit this way.  #

BTW, this is how a bootstrap works. :-) #
