Skyrockets

[Jack5079]

Skyrockets are bookmarklets on steroids. They're automatically bundled, have access to NPM, and have a separate CSP. Skyrockets are the "yes code" answer to Arc Boosts.

Format

Imagining something like

/*skyrocket*
name: "Copy as Markdown",
description: "Copy a piped link",
permissions: ["clipboard-write"],
*/

navigator.clipboard.writeText(`[${document.title}](${location.href})`)

Questions

• Should Skyrockets even be links? If so, is it possible for them to have newlines and indentation? They can!
  • No they should not
• How should a Skyrocket update?
  • I'm thinking if you want an auto updating Skyrocket, you just make its content import "my-funny-package"
    • But then how is metadata updated?
• How is the lockfile stored?

If Arc boosts, Tangent skyrockets.
