FBHandler is a Mac OS X protocol handler for Facebook links.

What are Facebook links?

If you've imported your Facebook contacts into the Mac OS X Address Book application you may have noticed that these contacts sometimes have a special "Homepage" address that looks something like this:

fb://profile/1026195398

These links seem like they should take you to a Facebook profile, but when you click on them nothing happens. The problem is that Mac OS X doesn't know how to handle FB:// links so it ignores them.

FBHandler is a tiny application that makes these Facebook profile links clickable. and includes support for these other potential Facebook links:

  • fb://wall/...
  • fb://photos/...
  • fb://friends/...
  • fb://notes/...

Notes

Interesting technologies used in this application include:

  • NSStatusItem for a simplified menubar-based interface
  • NSScriptCommand subclassing to process a clicked URL
  • NSUserDefaults to save and restore launch behavior
