Delicious lite is a firefox extension based on Patrick H. Lauke's "del.icio.us post" extension. Delicious Lite is a lot quicker because it uses AJAX to handle requests. I did this project because I can't find a del.icio.us extension that will simply do one thing: quickly post a bookmark to del.icio.us

Note: if you have the Patrick H. Lauke's "del.icio.us post" extension installed, you have to remove it first (as it might cause conflicts)

What makes it different from other del.icio.us extensions?

For one, it is not bloated. It simply does one thing and does it quickly.
The disadvantage is that it cannot retrieve tags from deli.icio.us so you will have to type tags manually (which is just fine if you don't use too much tags).

Comparison

In the original "del.icio.us post" extension, you will have to wait a little while after clicking the Post button in the dialog box (the browser stops until the bookmark is posted successfully to del.icio.us). In delicious lite, the dialog box is sent to the background after clicking the Post button, then it sends an AJAX request to delicious without stopping the browser. The dialog box will automatically close when the bookmark is posted successfully, otherwise, an error message will open in a new window.

Code

I'm not an expert on XUL and JavaScript programming, so I just used what I know. Feel free to improve the code, just be sure to read Patrick H. Lauke's license.
