Hi! First of all THANKS for a great addon! I really like it as i've been missing vertical tabs since TabKit stopped working in FF.

Because of this I would like to contribute some features, but unfortunately there's no source in the repository? Is this on purpose or just a matter of lack of resources to publish it till now?

In the other thread i've seen you consider moving issues out of github (because of lack of the OAuth sing in). I think that the main benefit of github are pull requests, so please consider pushing the source here, thanks!

Dear Joel, maybe there is anything new on this issue? Thanks in advance, Dan

This seems to be the main "Idea" (feature request) for open source if folks want to vote there. Not response in two years though... http://sidewise.userecho.com/topic/148677-open-the-code/

For anyone who is interested, I have created a fork of the project at https://github.com/saintwolf/sidewisefork

Unfortunately due to licensing issues, you are not allowed to publish any of the code to the Chrome store, so it's a bit of a non-starter, but it's the best we can get if the owner isn't willing to fully open-source it.

@saintwolf where did you get it?

saintwolf commented 8 years ago

@ho-pp It's not exactly a black box :) The source for any Chrome extension you've installed will be in your user profile. For me it is in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Extensions.

The code is exactly as I've ripped from there, except I've prettified it with my IDE so it looks nice on GH.

@saintwolf Did you use a beautifier/formatter? The .js files have no line breaks in my Extensions folder (none at all, not a Windows-problem). Is this just the way the Chrome Store ships extensions?

saintwolf commented 8 years ago

@ho-pp I used Atom Beautifier. I believe Chrome removes the line breaks during packaging to minimise the file size as much as possible, and maybe to obfuscate it a little?

Note that the donation box lists "Make it open source" at the top of the plans for Sidewise. Not sure how much progress has been made though. screen region 2018-09-30 at 09 43 22
