Was suggesting list of names for the extension.. you might choose

Extend, extendit

semmyk:
Awesome suggest from 3exe3
Perhaps, to keep the origin (even when it goes 'global'), then maybe
NLExtend , NLExtendit

As you can see, the grammarly extension has injected itself into the node, what should be noted here is that , the Grammarly widget is actually placed infront of the textarea and not inside, what does this mean ?

By deduction it scans the Textarea Element, captures the bounding client to determine the height, offsetleft, offsetRight so it can place itself at the bottom of the textarea, we will be following the same suite.

Update

I had to remove the previous idea, I was wasting too much time on something not too important, so I decided to go with a Sidebar where you can choose which widget to add to the page, I add the idea of adding it to where the controls exist when you write a post, but the sidebar works more in my opinion.

For now, I will keep everything simple, in the future, the UI can always change since it is being built in a Svelte Component. for now I will be setting up Firebase today that is where most of the important details reside in.

There are important issues to discuss:

1. What format to store the widget code. e.g so we need to generate a text that the extension scans for and replaces it with the widget in the DOM.

e.g [widget type='url' rel='link']Link[/widget]

The issue is NL can tomorrow decided to block such, so imagine we can determine what tag to search for in the extension settings. do we encrypt into something else that can only read by extension or come up with our own type of tag. If you have ideas you can comment in the forum

Also, is another discussion, what type of widgets do we want?

1. Ability to share Songs with lyrics
2. Share Images easily
3. Interactive content (3D and STL)

Once the proof of concept is done, I will be halting development until there is a discussion around which widget makes more sense to start

Today is Saturday thinking of playing and learning chrome extension development I hope I hope it still popping in the freelance world

qtguru:


It is, I did a 250$ in a day gig and the task was minimal compared to my full-time job. The only thing I'd say is spend so much time learning the architecture because Chrome extension especially Message Passing can be complex.

peterincredible:

Ok I will just keep on reading their documentation and practicing pls I will like to contact you personally I don't know how to get to you?
But make I first ask u still dey naija so
