We had a sidebar extension on Chrome called Teamgum[1]. But it was removed from store last month because we were using remote iframes. And when we asked for more explanation nothing from their end. And now I see they are developing there own sidebar.

I have started many side-projects but left them half way, because i got bored or something else caught my eye. But with my latest project[0] I am following a simple philosophy by John Resig, "Write code every day"[1]. Even if i write code for 30 mins, it's okay. By following this i am always in touch with the project. It has helped me a lot in being disciplined.

These documents are simply sent to our client apps. All the processing happens on MySQL. And since we are sending JSON, so instead of creating JSON on runtime, we store as a document and retrieve that and send to the client.

We retrieve documents using the unique id generated in mysql table.

I think they are using web sockets or something which requires persistent connection between the phone and browser. Since on iOS, apps can't run in background this approach will not work on iOS.
