Wanted to say hello in random ways in the blog posts, but I couldn’t think of a better name today, so HELLO!! #

As the name suggests (I couldn’t think in a better name ), this other extension I’m working on is basically a bookmark viewer because I have around 500 bookmarks, and there’s no good bookmark viewer out there . So I made my own!

Here’s how it looks right now:

It displays the bookmarks through a recursive function to view the folders. If it finds a folder, it runs the function again; if it finds a bookmark, it displays it

Also, it’s worth mentioning that it only renders the bookmarks you see. I found this approach in this blog post, and it’s great for performance, as I was having issues before. If you only have a few bookmarks, it might not make much difference, but in my case, it made a lot of impact!

Another feature I recently implemented is the thumbnails. Currently, it takes a screenshot and caches it when you bookmark a page. But if you’ve just installed the extension, it will take screenshots of your bookmark pages in a queue, like this:

NOTE

In this video, the extension was not yet optimized as mentioned above.

This was somewhat difficult to do, to be honest, but there’s no secret, just a lot of errors during the process, lol. But yeah, here’s the source code if anyone’s interested. Also pull requests are always welcome!! Thats it for today!
