NYTimes App in Chrome Web Store

The New York Times Chrome App looks kind of familiar :-). From playing with it a bit, it looks quite beautifully done. It also looks like they have some the same troubles I did with counting pages accurately and keeping the columns properly aligned with the pages. As far as my Greasemonkey script goes, I've had very little time to update it recently. If / when I do get any time, I'd like to do a significant rewrite, basing the article text extraction on Readability and maybe just doing the whole thing as a bookmarklet. Perhaps a good project for the holidays...
