SIne Mods Manager

[12th-devs]

@LuanderFarias I would like to introduce you to Sine, the external mod manager designed for Firefox-based browsers! It offers extensive support for all your Firefox modifications, including userChrome.css, userContent.css, and user-scripts.

Getting started is simple:

• Add a theme.json file to your repository (check out this reference).

• Then, publish your mod to Sine using this issue template.

• If your mod includes configurable options, you can create a preferences.json file by following this wiki.

The maintainer is very responsive and will review your submission quickly.

Have questions or need assistance? Feel free to tag me!

Note: Sine currently works with Zen Browser, but version 2, bringing support to all Firefox-based browsers, is just around the corner! Expect the dev branch (Cosine) to be updated with it tonight.

@LuanderFarias Let me know when you do! I would love to test! MacOS only or all OSs? What are you all building it on?

all OS's. for now windows alpha but mac is next 😉

@LuanderFarias Sweet, I only said MacOS because that's where everyone makes browsers now. I am on Windows so I will be looking out for it. Is it electron, chrome, firefox, python?

Awesome!

[12th-devs]

prolly just peek (main/src/components/peek/peek.js) is fine. cause the other "functions" are just the sidebar which zen and etc already have... but if you do wanna make the whole extension into userscript every file inside src/ is from the extension.

Ok, I'll get working on that once Cosmo tells me what I did wrong when making it Sine compatible

[12th-devs]

@LuanderFarias if you would like me to alpha test (I would really like to) you can reach me at https://matrix.to/#/@anoms12:gitter.im

[12th-devs]

@LuanderFarias yeah!

[12th-devs]

Please @ me when you reply

[12th-devs]

@LuanderFarias would that be possible?

[LuanderFarias]

@Anoms12 yep, gonna include you

[12th-devs]

@LuanderFarias thank you so much!!!

[12th-devs]

@LuanderFarias also, I do not know if you are aware of what is going on with Zen, but it is kind of a mess. I was wondering if you would have the following things.

• Customization support on the user end with CSS
• Well written build instructions
• Also, bigger ask, (in the future) support for something like a userScripts (fx-autoconfig)

If so I see myself fully switching to OS browser and will be happy to assist in any way possible. Thanks so much

[LuanderFarias]

i actually didn't knew about those going on with zen. and i do plan to make those things on arcfox, but i woudn't wait so much cause i'm more focused on os-browser at the moment...

css customization: i can try

build instructions: yep, i love writing MD stuff, that includes documentation, build instruction and etc

userscripts: i'll try 🥺

[12th-devs]

@LuanderFarias thank you! I will help with whatever I can. If you are okay with parts being vibe coded (I read over it and make sure it's decent) just let me know what I can do.

[12th-devs]

@LuanderFarias I have an unclaimed account on discord and am in your server. (let's not ask questions please :). I saw your thing with the URL bar design and essentials when you hover, it looks cool and intuitive, but if the user is in an essential, all of the essentials should remain visible. This would be the only UX issue I could see coming from that.

If you need to reach me, I will help with design if wanted: https://matrix.to/#/@anoms12:gitter.im

[LuanderFarias]

yeah I did plan to make the essentials still visible if a user was on it, and don't worry I'd never ask questions about your privacy choices :)

[12th-devs]

@LuanderFarias thanks! More of an age thing but yeah. I would love to help with design or anything else I can do
