I have really become a fan of the “quick post” inline aside thing. It really has played well into the type of blogging I have the time for at the moment.
It began to be a pain to load the admin area and go to the post page, just to write two sentences. So I started brainstorming some ways to make things a little easier on myself.
The solution was pretty straightforward, and with Habari, suprisingly simple to implement.
Using Some jQuery trickery I basically created a lightweight lightbox, that contains a simplified version of the post interface. From there it was a simple task of leveraging the ajax system in Habari to make an authentication based endpoint to post to.
Voila, if I am logged in and on the home page of my site, I simply click on heart and leaves graphic, and I get my quick post interface. Here’s an image of the end result:
Easy peasy as they say. I am having so much fun with it, I thought I would release it to the wild and see if others find it helpful. See below for the download.

Great idea. And maybe a first reason for me to think about using Habari. I hope there are more good plugins to come… ;-)
Hey Jochen.
There are most certainly more good plugins to come. I have another I will be releasing soon that takes a novel aproach to post preview.
Keep your eyes open!
Great one! Just installed on my sandbox Habari install and it works great, but I do get some PHP warnings though:
Notice: Undefined variable: content_type #0Thanks for letting me know about the notice Christian. I will look into it when I have some time.
Glad you are finding the plugin useful.
Hmm. To go even further, maybe a dashboard widget utilizing Habari’s Atom Publishing Protocol!
Anyone? Anyone?
…Bueller?
Good idea Chris.
Maybe I should look into how to interact with the APP system. In between all the other things I am working on :)
