Reporting issues

For bugs only, please use the issue tracker.

Feature requests, ideas, etc

For feature requests, ideas, and new site suggestions, please use the Ideas discussion board. Check first if your idea already exists and give it an upvote if so.

Pull requests

In general, pull requests are only accepted for bug fixes or documentation improvements. In terms of features I mostly consider the project "done" and would like to keep it minimal and simple to reduce the maintenance burden. If you have ideas, please post in the Ideas discussion board. You are of course welcome to fork the project if you'd like to make a more complex version.


Development

This plugin is built as a WebExtension - a standard for browser plugins currently supported in both Chrome and Firefox.

Dependencies

To build for either browser, clone the repository and then run:

make dev

If everything is successful, check the build folder for the extension contents. You can load the build directory into either Chrome or Firefox as an unpacked or temporary extension. See the instructions for Chrome or Firefox.

Running make dev will watch for changes and recompile, however each time you make changes you'll need to tell the browser to reload the temporary extension.

To build a distributable .zip for production, just run:

make

The extension package can be found in the dist folder.
