Do not let your reading habit die with Google Reader! Introducing After Reader!!

After Reader – Do not let your reading habit die with Google Reader!

This chrome extension points the reader link (top black bar on all google products) to your choice of feed reader. You can either choose from some existing readers or add your own.

I and many more people have been using Google Reader and love it since years but unfortunately, Google has decided to shut it down. Luckily, we have some of the good alternatives available that we can use. But again, we can not access that from Google’s black top bar. And hence my effort goes not to break that habit.

Even after Google removes the reader link on 1st July onward, this extension will keep the link there but point to your choice of feed reader. Enjoy!

Installation

Just install the extension from the Chrome Web Store.

Power Searching with Google Certification

A few days back (July 2012) I had participated into Power Searching with Google course and upon completing it successfully I received a fancy certificate. The course was really useful for me as It changed the way I was using Google Search before.

Becoming a good searcher is always helpful.

Barepress: A chrome extension to write a blog post in wordpress without distracted UI

I myself found UI very distracting in WordPress at the time of writing a blog post and the full screen mode of an editor does not help much, so I decided to write a chrome extension named Barepress to simply hide the left navigation bar and right panel on demand, and make the editor occupy the entire screen keeping the default toolbar as it is unlike the full screen mode in an editor.

See a demo or Install Barepress

Start your day with an awesome smile

Start your day with an awesome smile! And this is how I look at each day…

Image Courtesy: I’ve used my nephew Atharva’s picture as I found the smile enchanting.

I’ve created a Google Chrome Theme in order to tell people to start each day with an awesome smile – the thing we’ve forgot to carry these days in our ambitious life.

Take a deep breath, smile and go slow…

Gmail can be more awesome!!!

Hailo Gmail Team,

I have been using Gmail since many years now and I can not resist myself saying that I love it like Hell. You can imagine my love by the fact that I have imported my office emails into my gmail account even though my employer does not allow me. Like others I really admire the new look unveiled recently, but too much space taken by search bar and toobar nettles me (as well as others hopefully).

Gmail now looks more social with the new design. Hail Gmail Team.

Here is my version of Gmail+.

I’ll be thrilled If Gmail Team implements it.
I am writing a chrome extension for this. Stay Tuned!!!

Updates:  

Meanwhile, I have written a chrome extension which is available in the chrome webstore. If anybody is interested to try it out.

download it from here.

If you found any issues, please feel free to send in mail at amit[dot]2006[dot]it[at]gmail[dot]com

Now it works with Google Calendar too!!!
