For the past month, I’ve been working for Automattic, the company behind AtD and the makers of WordPress.com, to create a Firefox add-on which enables this superior technology everywhere on the web.

    Working on After the Deadline for Firefox gave me my first experience creating an add-on from the ground up and I’ve learned a lot.

    In the mean time, happy proofreading! :D
