Supporting the Safari browser

xPaw commented 3 years ago

I have plenty of technical problems with Apple and how they do things. I am not going to sign up for the app store and publish the addon there, even if it is technically easy to port the code to work on it.

But you don’t have to sign up anywhere. Why do you need that?

xPaw commented 3 years ago

Because I am not going to let a user I have never seen before publish it for me.

I’m not going to publish anything. commiting code -> Pull request. Compiling People download the binary thats it

that’s how programming work

there is no publishing involved

And how many people are actually going to through the trouble of installing it manually, and not from the app store? This also has no auto updating.

I will not be able to test or fix things for Safari.

Since safari support Firefox and chrome extension this is pretty easy I can also do a fork but then I need the agreement of the project owner

Which trouble? Double tab on the .app file that’s inside an zip file or dmg and it’s done (you need to check the tick in the extension settings)

Look, I don't want to keep arguing about this. I don't care about Safari nor do I want to support it.

Thanks for the discussion. I feel again like I’m talking to a wall with some Apple haters. But well it’s not my problem but I love to see how developers doing everything in there power to limit there projects👍🏻 great work

To properly support the addon, I would have be able to test and use it myself. I have seen plenty of times when people come to a project, offer to add a new feature and then promptly disappear leaving the maintenance burden on the project maintainers.

It is also a burden for me to provide support and handle issues, which I have no capacity of doing properly.

If you think that people will go out of their way to manually install addons, you are solely mistaken. On top of that, percentage of Safari users is low enough to not warrant doing this.
