Humans.txt WebExtension

This is a port of Michael Mahemoff’s Chrome extension Humans.txt (Chrome Web Store link : Humans.txt) to the new Firefox-compatible WebExtension format, with a couple of improvements.

Installation :

• Firefox Add-ons : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/humans-txt-webextension/
• Google Chrome Webstore : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/humanstxt-webextension/monhadhlgfjjiokfekkllknnhemfbcon

What it does :

Humans.txt is an initiative for knowing the people behind a website. It's a TXT file that contains information about the different people who have contributed to building the website.

Humans.txt

The extension displays an icon in the address bar (Firefox, Opera) or the toolbar (Google Chrome), when the domain for the website loaded in the active tab hosts a humans.txt file.

Users can click on the icon to see the humans.txt file.

Plain text links and Twitter handles are turned to links to facilitate navigation. Basic Markdown is accepted, and standard-compatible titles are more or less supported.
