Just Read Premium on Firefox #273

Closed haakonstorm closed 4 years ago

haakonstorm commented 4 years ago

Just purchased Just Read Premium. Works on Vivaldi, my main browser. Can't find Just Read Premium for Firefox and Firefox Developer. Please advise

ZachSaucier commented 4 years ago

Hello, thanks for your purchase!

Firefox doesn't have a way to charge users for extensions and there currently isn't enough interest to warrant me doing external payments just to get the premium version working in Firefox. So JRP isn't available in Firefox right now.

Please show your support on the thread about Firefox! Maybe enough people will want it eventually for me to get it working.

Hey Mr.Saucecodier,

  1. what is the status on just getting a simple paypal → generate some licenseid or something → get premium up and running on Firefox.

  2. what is the quickest, easiest way to give Just Read a link, and get either html or markdown back, from the command line? Either bash, zsh, on macos, ubuntu, whatever. If you can return the html, I can pipe it trough 'Breakdance' (check Github) which I believe still is the best html to markdown converter.

Have you tried Firefox Developer Edition lately?

The state of browsers these days ... whew .... I'm using Vivaldi (Chrome compat) because of the VSCode-like keyboard command palette, then I keep going back to Safari because it is so blazing fast, then always have Firefox Developer Edition ready because it is so rock solid, stable and standards compliant. Vivaldi mostly because of the gazillion extensions.

Hey Storm.

  1. There's still very little interest in Just Read Plus for Firefox. Definitely not enough to warrant me putting in the development time needed to maintain it nor the cost to me for having to setup a service to accept payments.

  2. Sorry that's out of my area of expertise. Best of luck finding a solution!

With Just Read Premium installed in Chrome on my local machine. I presume Just Read gets HTML from the page you are currently on, when you invoke Just Read. Then it does its magic. Then has to output some HTML for Crome to render. Right? Is there any possibility to have your extension just save the file to disk instead? Or, if it already does this, either to the same temp file or to a new temp file in some folder, I can code a small shell daemon to watch this file or folder and grab the file whenever a new one updates.

I want Just Read-ized versions of web pages to end up on disk - somehow. Advise?

You could print it. Or you could manually copy the DOM using your dev tools and paste it into an HTML file. Just Read does not make any local files on your computer.

haakonstorm commented 4 years ago

OK. Any way to add this as a +1 feature request somehow? I'm sure plenty Just Read Premium users would appreciate an easy way to save their Just Read-ized web pages to disk.

ZachSaucier commented 4 years ago

You're the first person to request a .html file download of the Just Read version. I'll add it to the potential to-do list for the premium version.

I'm currently a premium user on Brave (Chromium), but here's another vote to get it on Firefox, this way I could use FF for reading purposes with Just Read Premium.

@MikeBlueberry JR add-on exists for Firefox

I'm sorry, I meant to say Just Read Premium, instead of the free Just Read.

ZachSaucier commented 3 years ago

The newest version of Just Read (v 5.0) now supports Premium features in every browser including Firefox 🥳 Please let me know if you run into any issues.
