editors - Save HTML from clipboard as markdown text storage Overview This API has been optimized to meet the specific storage needs of extensions. It provides the same storage capabilities as the localStorage API with the following key differences: User data can be automatically synced with Chrome sync (using storage.sync). Manifest You must declare the "storage" permission in the extension manifest to use the storage API. Usage To store user data for your extension, you can use either storage.sync: or storage.local: When using storage.sync, the stored data will automatically be synced to any Chrome browser that the user is logged into, provided the user has sync enabled. When Chrome is offline, Chrome stores the data locally. Confidential user information should not be stored! The storage.managed storage is read-only. Storage and throttling limits chrome.storage is not a big truck. For details on the current limits of the storage API, and what happens when those limits are exceeded, please see the quota information for sync and local. Examples
Distribute a Web App through the Chrome Web Store | Apps Script | Google Developers After you deploy a web app, other users can run the app if they have the link to it and have been given permission, but links alone can be hard to share. To make your web app easier to discover, you may want to distribute it publicly in the Chrome Web Store, where it can be found and installed by millions of users. You may also want to distribute your web app in the Google Apps Marketplace, where Google Apps domain administrators can find and install it for all or some users in their domains. Checklist Prior to distributing, you should: Ensure your web app is in good working order and is complete -- works in progress should not be distributed.Make sure the web app meets the requirements for web apps.Create the following graphic assets; be sure to follow the Chrome Web Store image guidelines when creating them: Distributing to the Chrome Web Store instructions To distribute a web app to the Chrome Web Store, follow the steps below: If you are distributing your web app publically, you're done!
Precise web clipping to Markdown with Bullseye GrabLinks went over pretty well, so I’ve been motivated to finish up a similar project I had going. It’s called Bullseye, and it lets you click a section of a webpage and “Markdownify” just that content. It’s like Readability, but you get to just tell it which part is the good stuff. I improved the rollover highlighting so that it doesn’t highlight every parent element, just the one it’s actually going to grab. I added this fix to GrabLinks as well, so if you have that installed you should already be seeing the improvement. Like GrabLinks, Bullseye loads from a GitHub Gist and will “auto-update” when I make changes. I also improved the relative-url-to-absolute tricks, so images in the page that are locally linked will still work when you preview the Markdown elsewhere. Installation Just drag the link below to your bookmarks bar. Using Bullseye Making use of it is simple. Technical details It’s kind of a cool trick. Future
Making Your First Google Chrome Extension Martin Angelov The Google Chrome web browser is slowly growing in popularity. This is no surprise, as it is a great browser, and is backed by no other than Google. With the introduction of extensions, Google Chrome became even more agile and powerful. In this tutorial, we are going to create a simple extension, which puts a small icon next to Chrome’s address bar, and, when clicked, will fetch Tutorialzine’s RSS feed and display a fancy preview of our latest tutorials. First a few words about extensions. How Extensions Work Extensions in Google Chrome are basically webpages. The extensions are, however, treated a bit differently than your regular webpage, which is displayed in the browser. You also have the benefit (or the limitation) that your extension runs only on one browser. Tutorialzine's Google Chrome Extension Developing extensions Extension are packed in a .crx file (arenamed zip file) but during development, you can map your working folder as an extension. Step 1 – Manifest.json <!
Web Apps and Google Sites Gadgets - Google Apps Script If you build a user interface for a script, you can publish the script as a web app. For example, a script that lets users schedule appointments with members of a support team would best be presented as a web app so that users can access it directly from their browsers. Both standalone scripts and scripts bound to Google Workspace applications can be turned into web apps, so long as they meet the requirements below. Requirements for web apps A script can be published as a web app if it meets these requirements: It contains a doGet(e) or doPost(e) function.The function returns an HTML serviceHtmlOutput object or a Content serviceTextOutput object. Request parameters When a user visits an app or a program sends the app an HTTP GET request, Apps Script runs the function doGet(e). For instance, you could pass parameters such as username and age to a URL as shown below: Then, you can display the parameters like so: Deploy a script as a web app Test a web app deployment
Is Bernie Sanders Really Unelectable? If Bernie Sanders continues to improve his poll numbers and becomes a genuine threat to Hillary Clinton’s nomination, undecided Democrats will increasingly hear from Clinton supporters that Mr. Sanders is not electable. Frequently, the electability argument is simply a normal campaign tactic, but it occasionally takes on ugly undertones. In 2008, many Democrats were told that the country wasn’t ready for an African-American president and therefore they would be foolish to support Barack Obama. This may not exactly have been a racist appeal, but if not, it was very close. For the Democrats, the electability narrative was at its most clear and compelling from roughly 1988-2000. Since 2004, however, the electability equation for the Democrats has been in flux. In reality, both Ms. Mr. Nonetheless, even the most ardent supporter of Mr. And if Mr. Lincoln Mitchell is national political correspondent at the Observer.
How to Create Chrome Apps and Extensions for your Website - Tutorial Today I published a Chrome app and an extension for this website in the Google Chrome store. I have never written apps for Chrome before but it turns out (see video tutorial) that one can write a basic Chrome app and push it to the Chrome store in less than five minutes. My Chrome app essentially adds an icon in Chrome’s New Tab page that takes you to the associated website upon clicking (much like any bookmark). The Chrome extension offers a little more functionality. Install Chrome App Install Chrome Extension Chrome is now the most popular web browser and it thus makes perfect sense to have some sort of a presence in the Chrome Store. Write a Chrome App for your Website This is easy. Add your website name in Line #2, put a short description of the website in line #3 (it should be less than 132 characters) and then replace labnol.org in lines #5 & #7 with your own website URL. Save the manifest.json file. Publish your Web App to the Chrome Store Create a Chrome Extension for your Website
untitled Appmator/index copy.html at master · PaulKinlan/Appmator untitled A Wwoofing Tale | Center For an Agricultural Economy To introduce myself, I’m Eliza, an intern at the Center for an Agricultural Economy (CAE) and a new student at Sterling College and to the Northeast Kingdom. I’d like to take some time to describe what an awesome experience wwoofing can be and to share a bit about the experience I had this summer working on two organic farms in southern Italy for two weeks. Despite its brevity, I came away from the experience with a appreciation for what it takes to truly live both lightly on the land and earn a living off of the land. The program that helped facilitate my visit is World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF), in which participants work on farms across the world. Wwoofing is defined as an exchange of volunteer work on the farm for which one receives food, accommodation and the opportunity to learn about other organic growing methods and livelihoods. And so, list in hand, butterflies in stomach, I picked up the phone and dialed Italy.
