00:00:28 <MattATobin> sorry
00:00:31 <MattATobin> sup
00:58:04 <CaptainTobin> hey oneforall2
01:00:52 <oneforall2> hi
01:05:06 <CaptainTobin> 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
01:05:43 <CaptainTobin> Trying to gadge what people do to prioritize it
13:31:18 <njsg> CaptainTobin: why not both?™
16:35:38 <frg_Away> CaptainTobin uless we see 1000 new add-ons which would need a compact list for scrolling thru card view is probably better
16:55:05 <tomman> oh, I know where to farm 999 of said addons :D
16:55:19 <tomman> if all you want is "colored icons with spyware"
17:18:30 <frg_Away> google personal recommendations?
17:28:09 <tomman> my answer was actually "China" :D
18:52:54 <MattATobin> frg_Away: if I scrape atbn you may have a few thousand extensions and tthemes
18:53:23 <frg_Away> ibiwisi
18:53:43 <MattATobin> eh?
18:54:22 <frg_Away> seems I am too old school :)
18:54:38 <MattATobin> oh
18:54:47 <frg_Away> https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=IBIWISI
18:54:50 <MattATobin> its just a phrase I don't really use because I am more sarcastic
18:54:57 <MattATobin> and antagonistic
18:57:10 <MattATobin> https://github.com/binoc-graveyard/infra-scripts/tree/TRUNK/sniplets/php/amo-scrape
18:57:53 <MattATobin> these are artifacts from when I scraped and downloaded all 19 thousand firefox extensions from AMO before Mozilla cleared the xul ones
18:58:14 <MattATobin> ATBN runs the same AMO v3 api in use in 2018
18:58:44 <MattATobin> so it follows I can query atbn and get everything public least in terms of basic metadata versions icon
19:00:13 <MattATobin> but the question then is .. do you present it as if it is just continued from AMO to ATBN to ASMO
19:01:00 <MattATobin> or dump it in a basic archive for pilfering and forking and preservation
19:05:04 <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.
19:05:24 <MattATobin> onto a new living add-ons site
20:35:39 <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.
21:24:10 <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.
21:24:59 <MattATobin> side benefit of an amo scrape ;)
21:25:06 <MattATobin> atbn*
21:25:16 <MattATobin> plus the preservation
21:58:45 <njsg> 0615|17:54:24 <+tomman> if all you want is "colored icons with spyware" <-- wait, icons can have colors!?
21:59:05 <njsg> that's a game changer! UIs could now have different colors for contrast inside the icon image
22:00:28 <tomman> even better, soon we will have the tech to display more than a few colors SIMULTANEOUSLY!
22:04:20 <MattATobin> Well.. thanks frg, the insight is valuable never the less
22:04:36 <MattATobin> oh he left
22:04:55 <MattATobin> Well Good night frg the insight is valuable never the less lol
22:05:12 <MattATobin> njsg: icons are graphics?
22:05:15 <MattATobin> not letters
