random survey cause you happened to be here: Do you prefer a list view or a tile/card view for add-ons listings and when you did go AMOing did you search or sort by popular, most downloaded etc
-
CaptainTobin
Trying to gadge what people do to prioritize it
-
njsg
CaptainTobin: why not both?™
-
frg_Away
CaptainTobin uless we see 1000 new add-ons which would need a compact list for scrolling thru card view is probably better
-
tomman
oh, I know where to farm 999 of said addons :D
-
tomman
if all you want is "colored icons with spyware"
-
frg_Away
google personal recommendations?
-
tomman
my answer was actually "China" :D

frg_Away: if I scrape atbn you may have a few thousand extensions and tthemes

MattATobin
its just a phrase I don't really use because I am more sarcastic

MattATobin
and antagonistic

these are artifacts from when I scraped and downloaded all 19 thousand firefox extensions from AMO before Mozilla cleared the xul ones
-
MattATobin
ATBN runs the same AMO v3 api in use in 2018
-
MattATobin
so it follows I can query atbn and get everything public least in terms of basic metadata versions icon
-
MattATobin
but the question then is .. do you present it as if it is just continued from AMO to ATBN to ASMO
-
MattATobin
or dump it in a basic archive for pilfering and forking and preservation
-
MattATobin
While I personally agree an archive needs made or at least captured for later.. I don't know if it is wise to attempt to scrape, sort, and try and mangle a majority that aren't getting updates.
-
MattATobin
onto a new living add-ons site
-
frg_Away
MattATobin best to start from scrath. Might mean no add-ons but 90% on the current site including themes is basically non working junk. Only dictionaries are ok.
-
MattATobin
still gonna need basically an ID blacklist to prevent someone submitting an add-on with an existing id luckily it won't be over 19 thousand entries for SM lol.
-
MattATobin
side benefit of an amo scrape ;)
-
MattATobin

MattATobin
plus the preservation

0615|17:54:24 <+tomman> if all you want is "colored icons with spyware" <-- wait, icons can have colors!?
-
njsg
that's a game changer! UIs could now have different colors for contrast inside the icon image
-
tomman
even better, soon we will have the tech to display more than a few colors SIMULTANEOUSLY!
-
MattATobin
Well.. thanks frg, the insight is valuable never the less
-
MattATobin
oh he left
-
MattATobin
Well Good night frg the insight is valuable never the less lol
-
MattATobin
njsg: icons are graphics?
-
MattATobin
