I thought a Mac OS X Automator Service would cover pretty much all bases on Mac, so here it is. 

The Automator service is callable from (almost*) any app that lets you select text :)

 *some non Cocoa apps (e.g. Java) such as IntelliJ do not support Services.

 

To install: Unzip the download into your ~/Library/Services folder.

To use:

  1. Select some text in and app. 
  2. Goto the 'Services' menu - this depends on the app, either right click the selected text, or goto the Apple in the menu
  3. Once in the Services Menu navigate to select Service -> SubmitWTF
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts

 

Some minus points:

 

  • Java apps do not tend to support Services at all
  • The Service UI is a series of single field dialog boxes - if anyone knows how to create single page input form in Automator please let me know.
  • It is always set to publish - easily fixed, but with /another/ dialog box

Note that Firefox does not support 'Service' in the page context menu so the 'Services' are accessed from the main menu
