Cheating Progress Bars

[firstfrost]

There's a feature in testing in ravelry for an API export of "progress bars" showing how far you've gotten on your knitting projects that you're tracking there. It's javascript, which Livejournal doesn't like, but I'm far too pleased with myself for hacking together a screen-capture script to let me use it as an image. If anyone else ends up in the testing group and wants a similar image page set up for them, let me know. :)

(Of course, the existence of the widget makes me think "it would be cooler if there were more things in progress. I should start some more socks...")

Okay, now I am tempted too, but I guess I first need to get into the testing group?

Yeah, there's a forum thread currently titled "CLOSED - want progress bars?" When it's set to OPEN then they're taking new volunteers (often it's "I'll take the next twenty" and fifty people leap in and say me me me, and then he says "okay, I put you all in".)
