When I released gist-deleter yesterday, I knew it had one stupid flaw: if you clicked repeatedly on the bookmarklet, it would create extra ‘delete this gist’ links. But I figured that most people wouldn’t do that, and I wanted to get it out quickly.
Unfortunately, I got a quick bug report from Mathias Lafeldt who told me that the problem was worse than I thought. Repeated clicks on the bookmarklet created an almost exponential explosion of links. I pushed out a quick-fix yesterday, but here is a full and proper update.
As of now, multiple clicks should not produce any redundant links. Please delete your old version of gist-deleter and update it with the one below. If you find any trouble with this version, please let me know via Github or Twitter.
Gist-deleter v0.0.4
