Title: Extension for Bitcointalk ? Do you want it ? Post by: mrvuit on August 20, 2019, 07:09:15 AM I found this post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5148488.0 I saw some scripts and I have an idea of an extension for bitcointalk. You can change the theme (eg light / dark), hide signatures ... I am a developer, and I think I can do it. It will be uploaded to google and the user will install it directly there. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions But I wonder, do you want it? Does it violate the rules? Title: Re: Extension for Bitcointalk ? Do you want it ? Post by: crwth on August 20, 2019, 07:14:27 AM I'm just curious, what for? Extensions are made to enhance the functionality of a website or something. E.g., Grammarly. I love using it to improve my grammar when I'm posting here in BTCT. How and what would be the purpose of having a Bitcointalk Extension?
One thought came into mind that this might be misused and insert malware to copy the account username and password. Title: Re: Extension for Bitcointalk ? Do you want it ?

As long as you don't put anything in that extension that will steal private information, I think you will be allowed to do so. By the way, is the extension you are planning to make like an "all-in-one" thing? beaten by crwth Title: Re: Extension for Bitcointalk ? Do you want it ?

I would be interested in few of them if no data is collected. BUT why dont you also create them for Mozilla Firefox? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/ Would be nice ;) Title: Re: Extension for Bitcointalk ? Do you want it ?

Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on August 20, 2019, 12:24:51 PM As long as you don't put anything in that extension that will steal private information, I think you will be allowed to do so. I think I'd be too paranoid to use a bitcointalk extension for just that reason. I don't have enough technical knowledge to judge whether something like that is malicious or not, though I'm pretty sure I'd hear about it if it were. In any case, even aside from security issues I'm not really enthusiastic about any extension for the forum. Firefox already has a dark mode extension, which I use, and I kind of like the forum just the way it is--it doesn't need any enhancements IMO except maybe to make it mobile-friendly.I just tried on chrome, if possible, I will do it for Firefox as well. Although I myself am not interested, I'm sure many other members would be--so good luck on your project here. Maybe you'll have a hit on your hands.Title: Re: Extension for Bitcointalk ?

Post by: samcrypto on August 20, 2019, 12:40:31 PM The current theme of this forum is working fine, very simple and easy to navigate and there are some board that disallowed signatures, if you want to hide your signature then don’t apply for any campaign simple as that. If theymos hire another developer, it must be part of the team nothing more than that because the current administrator knows the best to protect the interest of this forum.
Title: Re: Extension for Bitcointalk ? Do you want it ? Post by: UserU on August 20, 2019, 02:40:53 PM For me, I'd rather have an extension for all websites, rather than just one.
Besides, once Bitcointalk relaunches with a new theme, the current one might be redundant. Title: Re: Extension for Bitcointalk ? Do you want it ? Post by: dothebeats on August 20, 2019, 03:03:10 PM For me, I'd rather have an extension for all websites, rather than just one. Besides, once Bitcointalk relaunches with a new theme, the current one might be redundant. For people who are eagerly waiting for the said themes to launch for quite some time now, I guess this extension is for them. The current looks of the forum seems good to me and is also quite a bit nostalgic, and perhaps an extension to change the appearance of the forum isn't just for me. So long as there are no malware and hidden code that will steal information or snoop on what other users are doing, I don't see this any reason why some users won't support this idea.

I have a lot of ideas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGU7OGM12vc&feature=youtu.be Title: Re: Extension for Bitcointalk ? Do you want it ?

I just hope it does not use a lot of memory in the browser... Title: Re: Extension for Bitcointalk ? Do you want it ? Post by: libert19 on August 22, 2019, 05:01:50 AM I'm just curious, what for?

You can't depend on Google checks, many spam/scam extensions make to the store and more often than not someone gets scammed before Google comes to know about it.

I'd suggest feature to change text color too. Title: Re: Extension for Bitcointalk ? Do you want it ? Post by: mrvuit on August 22, 2019, 08:25:53 AM That is looking neat, great job!

Thanks, that feature will be available in the next few days, currently I am waiting for google to review it to be public. https://i.imgur.com/3o0BS9n.png Title: Re: Extension for Bitcointalk ? Do you want it ? Post by: dkbit98 on August 22, 2019, 08:59:01 AM Looking Cool, maybe also add dark theme for extension menu :)
If possible you must also integrate Enhanced merit UI script into this extension. It is much faster and better way to send merit to other users. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2833350.0 Title: Re: Extension for Bitcointalk ? Do you want it ?
