I'm not really a fan of the website design since it mimics GitHub so much that it took me like 30 seconds to figure out that this is a third party product. I have installed the extension and it seems pretty useful, but I just wish that the design is a bit more different so others won't feel as confused as I did when I first opened it.
Thanks for the feedback, I should add a note about that. I made it designed exactly like GitHub because I want visitors to see how it actually works on GitHub.
Maybe move all github fake-stuff below your own information and add a clear visible separator? I was confused at first too, but "got it" pretty quickly.
Now I added a disclaimer of top. Is it clearer now?
Only a bit IMHO. You copy the design of GitHub and place your own content inbetween. IMHO it should be visually separate, but thats my thinking ;)
Very cool. It does remind me of the incredibly useful Peek functionality on iPhone 6S when you 3D Touch an item on screen. Have you considered rebranding as GitHub Peek? :)
Definitely a very useful Chrome extension. I discover a lot of Github repos through my Github frontpage feed, and this will make reading the descriptions much quicker.
yeah but none of them can beat Rijisa Mineru the foolish Destroyer of Github
Wonderful extension idea. Maybe we could extend it further for other popular destinations (links to tweets, facebook pages, email addresses, domains).
Looks good.
Suggestions:
* Greasemonkey / Tampermonkey version instead of an extension
* Allow it to work on GitHub links outside of GH? Like if someone links a GH repo here.
"Would like to request permission to read and write all data on websites you visit"
No thanks.
It's because of a Chrome bug that dynamically granted options will be "forgotten" after Chrome restarts if I set all urls as optional permission. In order to support GitHub Enterprise, which I cannot know the domains in advance, I have to request permission for all domains and deal with script injection myself.
Believe me I did a lot of research to prevent this from happening but it failed...
I guess I don't understand why this needs to be an extension and can't be a CSS popup or whatever .. anyone know?
From what I can see, it's not developed by github but an independent developer. Chrome extensions are a way for third-parties to inject content/scripts into sites they don't own.
Why no cross-browser support? Supporting Safari and IE11/Edge doesnt take much.
I don't think Edge has extension support yet. A Firefox port shouldn't be that difficult though.
