I made a programming.dev Firefox extension, but could use some help/feedback (programming.dev)

9 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hey all, I made a Firefox extension (signed by Mozilla) specifically to add Show/Hide Child Comments functionality similar to how RES had it (where the parent comment is still visible).

It's not very useful, but I could use some feedback on tightening up the Javascript. I'm not a JS beginner, but I know I can do better, so any tips are welcome!

EDIT: Also, if anyone has any suggestions for the extension, I'm open to those as well.

Hey, just a heads up - I updated the extension to add some rudimentary keyboard navigation. Your j and k are there, and also you can use m to toggle the child comments for the selected comment.

If you wanna tighten up your extension build process feel free to steal my build setup :) (https://github.com/Baizey/UniversalAutomaticCurrencyConverter )

It's using esbuild and I'm using it to bundle for both chrome and Firefox separately (they expect slightly different manifest files), has multi entry points support (background, content, options and popup) and builds for ts/js

bundle for both chrome and Firefox

You're a true warrior tolerating that. It gives me headaches.

E: And you even set up Storybook? Respect.

Oh yeah, but the current manifest v3 difference between Firefox and Chrome is peanuts compared to when I had to have custom logic around regex as they didn't support the same set of regex specs. Fuck that

Your repo made me want to convert the extension to TS, which I've never written in before.

So I did that, and I'm getting to learn a new syntax! Thanks :D
