Ideas for Anti-Paranoia Firefox Extension
Project site - This here is the ideas section. You can edit here.
Changing the text
- Request: Add a configure panel so I can change & edit the messages.
- I don’t know how to do this. I’d have to learn it. You can do it! But if I leave it in this stage, maybe some people will become ambitious to learn Firefox hacking. — Johannes Buchner 2006/02/08 14:19
- Edit the Code of Anti-Paranoia Firefox Extension! All you need is a zip Application and a text file editor (zip+vi or WinZip+notepad)
- If you want, you can add texts here, and I’ll add them to the next release.
- Why you don’t add “42” by default, switching randomly between “42” and “Don’t panic!”?
Dynamically get new texts
- Request: Accumulate a daily feed from a website for a large db of random wit and/or Inspiration.
- Any volunteers? — Johannes Buchner 2006/03/02 14:34
Have some Sound?
- Maybe a spoken antiparanoia ??!!??
Change the time
- I didn’t want to make this extension annoying. But of course you want to see something, if you install it.
- You can find configurable stuff at about:config:
antiparanoia.minimaltime: The time to wait before popping up the next time.antiparanoia.randommax: The maximal random time to add to the time above.
The dark side
- Do you want a pro-paranoia extension?
Stop the Extension
- I want a “Shut up!” button!
- A thread that recalls itself is started when clicking on “I’m afraid”. It recalls itself ‘til infinity (or until the browser is closed).
- I couldn’t find a elegant way to stop window.setTimeout()-Threads. Maybe a global var?
- Maybe Alt-F4?
- Maybe you could make the ‘I’m afraid’ to a enable/disable function...when it’s checked, the messages appear, when it’s unchecked, they don’t (since you aren’t afraid, or you’d say so)?
- Leave your idea here.
