Migrate to web extension

[kumabook]

Need to use web extension by the end of 2017

https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2016/11/23/add-ons-in-2017/

There are some problem

1 sidebar: web-extension doesn't provide sidebar 2 preference window: web-extension doesn't provide xul window 3 database: migrate sqlite to indexDb

But they are a big advantage,:

• Compatibility with other browser

The sidebar is very well but if the extension have a good backend it's okay too.

Sidebar is now supported : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/sidebar_action

So, The time for migration has come. That will be 3 step.

1. migrate to hybrid extension

   • only ui (sidebar, menu ui, content_scripts)

2. data migrate with hybrid extension

   • from sqlite to indexedDB

3. completely web extension

The dead line is 2017/11.

So,
Step 1 (2017/5 Step 2 (2017/7 Step 3 (2017/11 Support Other browser (?)

If it possible extension for Chromium/Goolge Chrome, would be very great !
This will attract many people...
