Im steam-rolling out these apps! My latest being a WaniKani New Tab page! It displays again a whole bunch of information about your wanikani account! Pretty cool if I do say so myself (and believe me, I do!)
Everytime you open a new page in chrome, rather than being met by a boring Google logo and some frequently visited sites, instead you see a bunch of information about your WaniKani account and even a quick way to get to Lessons and Reviews.
Just a note, I would have this on the Chrome App Store if I didnt lack a license for it! I donāt have any big reason to be getting one right now (though its only $20) but am happy to license it under someone elseās license if they wish to help me out like so!
Just had a friend who I sent this to ask the same thing! I dont know how hands on this is to replicate in a browser like Firefox, but iām willing to give it a go, iāll probably start in a few hours (specially after I finish those 44 reviews in the screenshot)!
And iāve done it! Welcome to version 0.0.2, adding Firefox support!
Note that this application doesnāt auto-update at the moment (as in doesnāt check for updates). You guys should probably still check back every so often!
Hiya everyone, just wanted to let you all know, a new version is out!
(exciting I know)
In this update I wanted to address a few over-arching issues and junk behind the scenes. The code needs a cleanup but for now does what it needs! Heres a quick change-logā¦
- Screen is now gray until content loads, TODO: place loading symbol.
- Implements a make-do versions system to see if updates are out.
- Fixes to SCSS and CSS cleaning up overall sight, still much to do.
- Policy issue with some JS.
- Redesigning of the options page to look much cleaner.
You can find the download to this update on the releases page here.
The links after clicking webstore/firefox icon donāt work. Error 404 from GitHub. Instead you gotta click āreleasesā at the navbar and that takes you to the downloads.
Edit: on Firefox I canāt get it to work. I get the API v1 key, paste it into settings and click āsaveā, but it doesnāt work. After going to settings again it seems the key is not saved. It also says āInstalled Version 0.0.0 Latest Version 0.0.0ā.
Edit2: 0.0.2 works just fine.
Edit3: Also, I donāt think this should look like this: https://i.imgur.com/rj1Hclg.png (0.0.2, but 0.0.3 looks the same, just that it doesnāt load the API key so thereās no numbers etc)
The links are an issue thats due to an issue with stuff just coming out, ill fix it now, if its displaying 0.0.0 generally thats because Github ratelimits (refreshing too many times), its a make-do system at the moment. The key may not show but if the prompt box shows up saying it saved then youāre good to go. Finally that issue shouldnt be happening in Firefox, it doesnt render on my version on my Mac but iāll check on Windows in the next 24 hours!
Thanks for the feedback!
EDIT Spoke too soon! My mac is doing it too, let me sort it now!
Great! I also came up with an idea. How about leaving default new tabs in private mode? It doesnāt work in it anyway. Itād be good to be reminded when youāre in private mode by the default new tab.
