Show HN: Chrome-Extension to share from Pocket-Web-UI to Buffer-App

Hi HN, I read a lot of articles through the Pocket-Web-UI and like to share arcticles through Buffer (bufferapp.com).

But there is no way in the Pocket-Web-UI to share articles (to any social-service). Original Extensions don't work because they grab the wrong URL.

So I made a Chrome-Extension that does just that, allow you to share the article to buffer.

URL: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/puffer/okibgglohnedabdjhojjhmflbbnghnbf

(My first chrome-extension, pretty rough implementation I guess, will improve when I have some free time left.)

INFO: this extension does nothing else with your data than sending a request to the Buffer-API with article-url and article-title. will release the source to github and share the link here.)

ROADMAP: - make an overlay over the article like the original buffer-extension (no new tabs) - make compatible to Chrome < v20 (due to "onMessage"-events currently) - integrate other social-services (facebook, twitter) directly - ...

Hope it'll be useful to some people. Love to hear your feedback. best regards, @philFrasty
