I love this extension and it works well. I was wondering if it would be possible to slightly tweak it for Safari's usage?

I was actually able to convert it to Safari using Apple's dev tools, and it works well for most settings: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/safari_web_extensions/converting_a_web_extension_for_safari/

Cheers!

Thanks! I have looked into releasing it for Safari a while ago, but I don't have a Mac. I did try converting it once with my brother's MacBook, but it had some issues and I didn't have time to make it fully work. I'll try again next time I see him. It's really annoying how Apple force you to use Xcode :(

That's cool you got it working though. I'm curious, how well does it run, what settings don't work?

I'll have to look into more, but it seems that almost all the the functionality works perfectly fine (New and Old). One UI element I noticed, the "Show Navigation Buttons for Next/Previous Root comment", loads pretty far to the left, but are completely usable.

The only thing I couldn't see if it worked was Backup/Restore, as they did nothing upon pressing them. Overall, I am REALLY happy with how well it works on Safari, and was super simple to build.

Here is a test build of the app for people who wanted to test it out: https://github.com/kalyway101/RedditEnhancer-Safari/blob/main/Reddit%20Enhancer.app.zip

Make sure you enable Unsigned Extensions in Safari (Settings->Developer->Allow Unsigned Extensions)

That's great to hear it mostly just works! I'll fix any bugs and publish it officially to the App Store when I get the chance, but in the meantime it's good to have a build available for people to install. Thank you :)
