I was chatting with a friend, and she mentioned how she tries to at least set up a README, which includes her vision for the project and her plan for the implementation, design, and goals.

Best case scenario is that the planning helps her complete the project herself. Worst case scenario, someone else can pick up where she left off and use her considerations for the project.

I’m thinking of doing that for future projects too

Hope it helps!

That sounds good, and it sounds easy enough to implement.

I’ve made the issue here: https://github.com/cynber/lemmy-instance-assistant/issues/45

I’ll get to it when I have time in the next few months, unless someone else gets to it first :)

Hope it works for you!

Hope it helps :)

There are a few userscripts out there which I could integrate into the extension. It depends on when this commit gets pushed into Lemmy core:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397

After that, it could still be useful if someone wanted to block it browser wide. At that point I’d check if people still want something like that.

Sorry to those that have already seen this. I’m trying to space out the posts so it’s not in a large clump in your feeds. People have different subscription lists, so I’m trying to reach those that haven’t seen it yet.

These are the last 4 posts :)

Thank you, hope it helps!

I guess so, it would still be a problem. Once one extension is caught, it should be simpler to catch the rest.

It’s harder to quickly switch stuff up when you need to send the devs new code to put in

Don’t extensions get reviewed by the various stores? I’d imagine an automated check could catch malicious integrations like that.

Maybe not right away, but once they catch wind of one shady extension they could just search the store for any other ones.

Yes fair enough, I’ll include a better description as a dropdown in future posts.

Instance Assistant is a browser extension with a handful of tools on Desktop. It started out as a button to redirect to your home instance, but with the help of others we’ve included a few other functions and are working on more.

Could you give an example of what this looks like? I’m sure I’ll have friends sending me similar articles / YouTube videos. Would be nice to have a simple and accurate analogy

You’re welcome, hope it helps!

The basic features should work with Lemmy and Kbin, but some of the new ones are unique to Lemmy for now, such as the error page replacement. I’ve found Kbin a little harder to work with because while it’s more flexible, it’s harder to make sure I’m avoiding unintended actions.

I don’t think there are any limitations with behaw, at least with the current features.

I tested with mobile Firefox on an older version and it did work. However since you have to jump through hoops to install the extension in the first place, I haven’t looked into it much more. If you try to install it from the store on mobile, it should say that it isn’t compatible. :)
