Moo Later   Build Status

Moo Later Logo

Firefox extension for quickly saving a webpage as a task to Remember The Milk from the tool bar.

The title and link of the current page are used to create the new task. A due date for the new task can optionally be set. Create new lists from Moo Later before saving a new task to it. Highlight text on the page and save it as a note to the new task in Remember The Milk. Find it in the Firefox Add-ons marketplace. Using Moo Later is easy: log in, check the details then start adding tasks.

Version 3 of Moo Later contains some new features and supports Firefox version 75 and above. For versions of Firefox before this please stay with Moo Later version 2. For version of firefox before 57, use Moo Later 1.2.

If you have a bug please raise it here on GitHub but for discussion and ideas head on over to the Remember the Milk Forums. You can also leave a review on the Firefox Add-ons marketplace page.

Hotkeys

  • On Linux/Mac/Windows Alt + M will open Moo Later.
  • Use the tab and enter keys to submit a new task without using the mouse.

Settings

This extension can be configured through the Firefox Add-ons Manager page. This is accessed by clicking the menu items Tools -> Add-ons. Then select Extensions from the side menu and click the Preferences button for Moo Later.

  • Default List - The name of the list that will be selected automatically for new tasks. It must match the name of an existing list with the same capitalization. New tasks can not be added to Smart Lists. Default is empty which will go to the Inbox. I recommend using a separate list for Moo Later created tasks, perhaps called Read Later.
  • Use Title - Use the title of the currently viewed page for new tasks. Default is checked.
  • Use Address - Use the URL of the currently viewed page for new tasks. Default is checked.
  • Show in context menus - Show Moo Later in the right click context menu. Default is checked.
  • Use Smart Add - Should the new task's title be processed by Remember the Milk Smart Add? Default is checked.

When entering a new task the address must be a valid URL that starts with http:// or https://. To save a task with no address the link field can be left empty.

Development

Initial setup

  1. Install Node.js and npm.
  2. Run npm install to install dependencies.

Developing

To create a development instance of Firefox with Moo Later installed, run:

This does not depend on it having been built; it will use the src files as is.
