Google Chrome Ending Support for Roam Toolkit #225

Open RussAlan opened 1 month ago

RussAlan commented 1 month ago

I have been using your wonderful Chrome extension Roam Toolkit for spaced repetition. It has been the very foundation of my daily engagement with Roam for nearly four years. Google is alerting me that, "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Do you have any plans to address this? I havent found any other spaced repetition solution that fits my needs and I would prefer to continue using Roam ToolKit. Thank you!

They probably refer to the fact that it's still using Manifest v2.

Specifically for the same approach to spaced repetition - you can use "Date UX improvements" plugin from the Roam Depot that I built, or a more elaborate version of that that you can load as roam-js plugin: https://x.com/VladyslavSitalo/status/1689888582771912704

Thank you Stvad. I installed Date UX Improvements and it works perfectly. Does this mean I no longer need the Chrome RoamToolKit plug-in and I can uninstall it?

Stvad commented 1 month ago

Yeah, though note that I think the version of the plugin in the Roam Depot doesn't have keyboard shortcuts, I think

RussAlan commented 1 month ago

You are correct. No keyboard shortcuts in Roam Depot version. OUCH. Is there any way I can encourage you to add back the old shortcuts before Google kills Roam ToolKit? Thanks again for reply.

I recommend trying the experimental extension version, it has a bunch of other improvements (and also does keyboard shortcuts). I might get around to publishing it to depot at some point, but no specific plans yet
