I'm very concerned; I tried adding all 20+ of my custom emotes but they don't show up on the "Custom" tab. It's empty (Yes, I did save)!. But that's not all(!); it appears that their link is being completely ignored, while imgur (presumably also other?) links are not being ignored. Maybe because of their unusually short lenght, or something related to the domain? Why are my links getting "banned" from the emote list, where they are valid image links? SUCH A MYSTERY. Here is the text in my settings:
I have a little something in place to validate that all custom emotes are valid urls (to prevent the feature from being used as a auto-tag inserter, among other things). I guess that domain fails that test.
That said, tomorrow, after school, I'll make sure to find out why it's not passing the regex and fix it. Worse case, I need to remove the validation. Best case, I find the problem.
Is there a chance that you can make a tiny edition menu appear when making a status or commenting on one? Possibly on the bottom of the screen or somewhere. Having things like emotes, bold-italics/underline, etc, in quick-access mode for statuses and comments would be very useful. People like me do use those often, regardless of lack of space! Specially since my emote links + img tags barely take up more than 20 characters total.
Since this is a slightly larger feature, expect this within a week, as opposed to just tomorrow, though I see the want for it and who am I to not satisfy that need/
I like using [JUSTIFY] tags. Similar to auto-color and auto-font tags in the settings, can you add auto-justify tags too? That'd be neat!
I'd probably implement this as more of a "auto-tag-adder" than anything, though I don't really have a good idea of how to do so in a manner that I see as user-friendly. Rest assured, I will try my best to come up with
some way to get this in there. No guarantees though, as this seems like a one-person feature, but that isn't reason to not try.
Oh my god oh my god oh my god PLEASE make a Firefox version because Chrome has issues reproducing gifs for me and I love gifs please
I figure I'll reply to this here, but
I hope others see this too. (did the size work?)
[tl;dr at bottom]
I'm trying my best to get the most knowledge about firefox addons/extensions into my head, but they (from what I can tell) seem far more full of things a developer
can play with, meaning there's a lot that needs to be provided. Not only do I have school which easily takes up half of 5 of the 7 days a week. Even then, I participate in various after-school activities-- some required, such as going to district for orchestra solo & ensemble, or voluntary, such as tutoring some people in math.
That said, school is easily the
laziest reason I could give for not working on this extension. I get most, sometimes all, of my work done at school, leaving me with many days where I have a solid 6 to 8 hours (depends on how late I stay up
) to do what I'd like. That includes working on this extension.
All in all, yes, I am working towards getting a firefox version up. While that is probably my biggest task right now, it's definitely possible. I have made 0 progress, with the exception of reading up on extensions. It's kinda like learning British-English if you come from the US; all familiar stuff (it's English!), but there's also some new stuff you need to get used to.
tl;dr I'm working on FireFox extension
Is that a custom emote?
