No ability to hide the dock icon in the desktop version yet? :(

Nevermind, great update. Are you using the same API that Pastebot uses for backgrounding?

I am sure guys at tapbots use same API.

Thanks for the update. It would be nice if your Chrome extension would support contextual menu clipping and sending.
