Looped In
A browser extension that displays Hacker News comments for the current webpage
Looped In is a browser extension that displays Hacker News comments for the current webpage in a sidebar. It is written in ClojureScript.
Looped In will be available from the Firefox Add-ons site and the Chrome Web Store pending review. If you'd prefer to clone the repository and run the extension locally, read on.
Usage
To build Looped In locally, you'll need Leiningen and GNU Make.
To obtain a copy of the source code:
$ git clone git@github.com:jdormit/looped-in.git
To build the source code, navigate to the project root and run:
$ make dev
This will output a development build of the extension to ext. Additionally, it will start a Figwheel session for the background and sidebar scripts, enabling live reloading and connecting a ClojureScript REPL to the sidebar script. Due to strict content security policy for content scripts, Figwheel cannot be enabled for the content script.
If you want a production build instead, run:
$ make prod
This will output an optimized production build of the extension to ext. The production build does not feature live reloading. It also takes significantly longer than the development build.
To load the extension locally in your browser, see instructions for Firefox or instructions for Chrome.
To package the extension for publication, run:
$ make package
This will package a production build of the extension to dist/looped-in.zip.
