Krabby Lite? #23

Closed tshort closed 4 years ago

tshort commented 4 years ago

For Chromebooks or Windows, it'd be nice to have a Lite version available for Chrome and Firefox in the appropriate stores. This would have to drop some features.

I was able to get Krabby installed in Chromium on Windows without extensions. No luck doing the same for Firefox.

Full Krabby should work on Windows. I just don’t have a Windows machine for testing and adding the stuff for installing.

I do not know Chromebook. Can you have a shell for installing?

tshort commented 4 years ago

Chromebooks have a shell but only in development mode. I'm not sure if it's suitable for installing.

@tshort Do you think you could add Windows support for Krabby and the extensions?

tshort commented 4 years ago

I didn't have to change anything to get Krabby to install on Windows (without extensions). I ran the normal installation script in the bash prompt that comes with git (make install extensions=no). I did need to install jq before I did that.

Maybe it just needs some directions for this. Another way to approach it would be to write PowerShell scripts that mimic the unix shell scripts. I'm not touching that one. I will see how far I get with extensions. dmenu will be a problem.

chrome-shell needs to be updated for the manifest host location.

chrome-dmenu does not need to be updated, because the dmenu program is configurable.

It looks Crystal can be used with WSL.
