RE: Steem Enhancer - introducing tags following and even more!

in #steemit7 years ago

I would like to know why are people developing first for Chome instead of for the WebExtension API, which is standard.

Every developer does its job the way it likes or is more confortable with, but just let me say the way I would have done it:

  1. Write all the features that I would like in the extension
  2. Research the way of implementing most I could using WebExtensions.
  3. Develop them using WebExtensions.
    3a. If there are too many features in that first release set, just develop the most basic ones, the MVP, but always having in mind that those features will be made using only WebExtensions
  4. Once I would have released the MVP -which uses only WebExtensions- in both the Firefox Addon repo and the Chrome Store, I would start working in those features that would only work in Chrome.
  5. Once I had release the new Chrome extension -which provides exclusive features- the I would start trying to port those features to the WebExtensions API -which would enable the add-on to also provide Firefox users with those new features.

But I could also be wrong. I am many many many times. Anyway, thank you for developing that interesting new add-on which I, as a Firefox user will not test.

A very good comment. As a Firefox user, I’d love to see the same!
