Firefox extension

[MaximeMaW]

Hi @re-figure

Thank a lot for this amazing extension, I wish the scientific community had more tools like this, this is really awesome.

I was wondering whether you guys had plans to port the extension to other browser, and primarily to Firefox? This would be of great use to many people. Conversely, how hard do you think it would be to do such port?

Thanks again

@MaximeMaW thank you! We do plan to make a Firefox extension: to make it work reproducibly is not trivial but it is not hard. So i guess it is of medium difficulty and is midway down our todo list. If you are interested in trying to port it, we can provide some help.

Awesome! I am definitively interested in this project and will try to dedicate some time to it. However, I cannot commit to a deadline right now.

No deadlines needed. We are happy that there is community interest in expanding the reach. If there is anything we can do just let us know

Ok, so I managed to build the extension, however, instead of what the README says, I had to do:

npm install
bower install
gulp build

I was unable to run the website, and since I am not familiar with the nodejs/gulp environment, I might be doing things totally wrong, but gulp stopped throwing errors at me only after I installed the following:

sudo apt install libcairo2-dev libjpeg-dev libpango1.0-dev
npm install express
npm install cookie-parser
npm install http-status-codes
npm install jsonwebtoken
npm install node-captcha
npm install crypto-js
npm install node-uuid
npm install emailjs
npm install google-auth-library
npm install fbgraph
npm install generate-password
npm install express-https-redirect
npm install body-parser
npm install mysql

Then, when I connected to http://localhost:8181, I got a mysql connection error. I believe that the README is still incomplete and this is the reason why it shows up.

Then, I was able to drop the extension into Firefox (with the help of this link). From there, I was able to:

• login with my refigure account

But it seems that the refigure were not detected, and I got the following in the debugger console:

Any pointer from here would be much appreciated.

Wow, that's awesome. It might take a few days but we will get back once the team has had a look at it. We will also fix the readme.

Hi @MaximeMaW just an update to say that we identified a few bugs and are ironing out the kinks. It might take a couple of weeks to respond to the firefox extension.

Hi @re-figure.

Awesome, keep me posted!
