Kinopio Browser Extensions

For quickly recording thoughts, inspirations, and urls while you're out making waves on the world wide web.

A simple extension that just opens a pop up with an iframe to kinopio.club/add

Develop and Update

To test with the local kinopio-client add to inbox page, change iframe urls to http://kinopio.local:8080/add

Don't forget to change it back to https://kinopio.club/add before shipping

Chrome

I use vivaldi for chromium testing, but these staps are basically the same for chrome

Mac/Safari version

Build this from the /firefox version, using the safari-web-extension-converter

But first, in index.html remove the background color from the <iframe>

cd kinopio-browser-extensions
mkdir safari
xcrun safari-web-extension-converter --macos-only ./firefox

If you run into xcrun issues, you may need to reinstall the xcode command line tools.

If you get the error 'unable to find utility "safari-web-extension-converter"', run this first: sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app
