A little bookmarklet maker

I keep making little bookmarklets and then forgetting the annoying part of turning JavaScript into a usable Favorites link. So I made a page to do that part for me.

Paste in the script and it builds a link with the javascript: prefix, along with the address text to copy. The code squeezes out some whitespace and escapes quotation marks for the generated link. It is a small convenience tool, not a full JavaScript minifier; regular expressions do not suddenly make it a compiler.

I also put some useful examples and instructions there for desktop IE10 and Windows Phone 8. A couple of the examples deal with touch behavior, including making hover menus usable and changing msTouchAction for panning and zooming. These are tiny fixes, but it is handy to carry them around in a bookmark instead of rewriting them every time.
