New XKit on Safarisafari-extensions.apple.com

Mac users rejoice! Four months ago, your generous donations allowed us to begin development on a version of New XKit for Safari. Today, we are pleased to announce that we have finally passed Apple review and are available on the Safari Extensions Gallery.

This is the first ever release of New XKit supporting Safari. We would like to thank Avi, Cris, Nathan, Jonathan, Miles, and our anonymous donors for making this possible.

tl;dr: Get New XKit on our Safari Extension Gallery page

As always, you can get in touch with us by sending an ask to @new-xkit-support or @new-xkit-discussion or visiting our live support chat. If no one responds in the live chat, it means the developers are currently busy/away/sleeping! Just wait a bit and someone will get back to you!

Hey everyone! The New XKit Town Hall will begin in about an hour. When it begins, we’ll start with a little introduction, then have approximately 1-2 hours of team-only discussion (which you are all invited to watch and discuss in the off-topic channel), and then a Q&A session about the project.

The Town Hall will begin at 2 PM Pacific, 5 PM Eastern, and 10 PM UTC

The official announcement post can be found here.

we’re starting now!

Hey guys, we’re to our Q&A portion. Took a little longer then we expected to get here, but now we’re open for any and all questions on the state of the project.

Come hang out! The only rules are to be respectful, and don’t type while we’re answering someone else’s question.

New XKit Town Hall

new-xkit-extension:

We’ve been working on New XKit for awhile. If we look back, we can see all the progress we’ve made: currently the Chrome Web Store reports that there are 300,000 users of New XKit, the Firefox Addon Store reported a healthy number of users before we were taken down, and we having a working Safari build. Needless to say, New XKit is a very stable project.

Now we’re in a position to do something we’ve never done before: host a Town Hall! It’s a meeting where we discuss the New XKit organization, report on the state of this extension, and field any questions you may have. We’re doing this so we can plan our project goals as well as bring visibility to the issues that affect New XKit overall.

The Town Hall will be held this Saturday, 1/16 at 2 PM Pacific/5 PM Eastern/10 PM UTC on our unofficial Discord server. Before you ask, you don’t need to register for an account, and Discord clients are available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. It’s also available from the web.

Near the end of the Town Hall, we will open up for a Q&A session. Please note that the chat will be moderated; we intend to listen to and answer questions one at a time, not all at once. Furthermore, please do not ask questions about specific problems or bugs you are experiencing. Those questions should be sent to @new-xkit-support or our live chat.

And if you’re feeling eager and can’t wait until Saturday, you can hop in right now and say hi! We don’t bite, promise.

tl;dr:

  • Who: New XKit core developers and the general public (you!)
  • What: Town Hall
  • When: Saturday, 1/16 at 2 PM Pacific/5 PM Eastern/10 PM UTC
  • Where: Our unofficial Discord server
  • Why: Planning for future releases and providing visibility into our project

A reminder for today

Month in Review: December 11 - January 08

Happy New Year! Here’s the first set of updates for this year.

Bug Fixes

  • Editable Reblogs v3.0.5: Temporarily disable ER on pages that don’t provide the information it needs to work. We’ll restore this when we’ve done some cleaning on our end, apologies!
  • Find Inactives v0.3.1: This extension is now a polyglot and will work if your user interface language isn’t English.
  • Glowing Follow v1.0.4: Made a variety of fixes, such as improving the short description, fixing iframe URL detection, and so on.
  • Header Options v2.4.1: Unhide the post ribbon being hidden by the mobile scrolling header, and fix an issue with large screen sizes.
  • Messaging Tweaks v1.5.1: Good news, the :+1: emoji now works! I would totally include it in this message if it didn’t ruin the formatting of this post.
  • One-Click Postage v4.1.1: Fixed some weird overlay issues with the reblog icon as well as general code cleanup. Welp, there are fewer misspelled and commented out styles now.
  • Pokés v0.7.1: Just small fixes here, like increasing the species font size and requesting fonts over HTTPS.
  • Reblog Display Options v1.3.1: Remove border from new content if both border and remove new-content username are set.
  • View On Dash v0.7.6: Handle chat posts. Yeah.
  • XKit Preferences v7.2.0: If you’ve ever browsed Tumblr using a mobile device and tried to use the XKit control panel, you may have noticed that it didn’t stay on screen. Well, now it does! (As a properly-behaved preferences window should.)

New Features

  • Messaging Tweaks v1.6.0: As requested, allow hiding of the send post paper plane button. We’ve also added hotkeys: Alt+[Down/Up Arrow] to hide or restore the chat.
  • Pokés v0.7.0: There’s quite a few new features here! We’ve updated the interface, allowed people to nickname and release their Pokémon, and add a Pokémon font!
  • XKit Preferences v7.3.0: Add a Christmas themed icon! I know it’s a bit late to announce this, but still. Oh, and make Gists distinguish between enabled and disabled extensions.

Changes in Review

  • Editable Reblogs v3.0.6: Properly redirect after reblogging from a blog page.
  • Add Pale Moon support: Yes, you’ve read that correctly. This is probably going to involve a lot of discussion around determining the amount of extra maintenance we need to do to make this happen.

As always, you can get in touch with us by sending an ask to @new-xkit-support or @new-xkit-discussion or visiting our live support chat. If no one responds in the live chat, it means the developers are currently busy/away/sleeping! Just wait a bit and someone will get back to you!
