Okay so I just downloaded your version and I am worried about everything I have archived and was wondering will it be safe. Also do you have a little list of what your version fixes?

All my archived stuff carried over when I updated, but a couple other people have mentioned using XCloud to carry their stuff over just in case.

We don’t have a comprehensive list yet, although you can look through our asks to see a majority of what we’ve fixed. I’m going to write a “known issues” page when I have a spare moment

There isn't a go-to-dash extension available but apparently it's required for notification block to work?

Weird. It’s there on mine. If you type “go” into the search it should be the only one that comes up. What browser are you on?

Sorry to sound dumb but I just want to be sure: XKit 7.6.1 is you guys, right? I just want to be clear.

Yes, we increased the version number in our extension to reflect several major improvements (like fixing all the CORS bugs).

I'm confused, what name is the extension under in the Chrome Store?

It should be under “New XKit”. You can also follow the link in our announcement post.

New XKit

A fork of XKit, the extension framework for Tumblr.

WE ARE ON THE CHROME STORE

This will fix all the various disabling problems, and is overall easier. Please spread the word—we’re getting a lot of asks about the .crx method.

addons.mozilla.org

New XKit

Fork of XKit, the Tumblr extension framework

We’re on the Firefox Appstore

This should solve the connection errors you guys are having.

So I'm trying to download the extension on Chrome, except on the extension page it is gray, says it may have been downloaded without me knowing, and will not let me enable. I'm pretty sure this is because when I was trying to change the properties of Chrome it said the target path was not valid... is there any way around this or am I just missing something really obvious? Thanks for everything you're doing by the way!

We’ve just submitted to the Chrome Store. Once it’s sent through, you’ll be able to download from there and the problem will be fixed. The submit process supposedly takes up to an hour. We’ll post an announcement when everything goes through

culturalrebel asked:

Tried to install it on Firefox, it says it can't be downloaded because of a connection problem with github?

This should be fixable by simply trying again. If you are supremely unlucky, you can wait until we upload it to the Mozilla appstore, which we’ll do concurrently with the Chrome Store (hopefully late tonight, but no promises).

Anonymous asked:

I will check out the extension on my pc tomorrow. For now I'll just say good luck with your project! I have to ask though, do you really have to go by Xkit? It feels kinda weird to co-opt another person's project like that. Even if you're basing this on the old Xkit, maybe consider making your own brand?

A couple other people have shared your concern. This is a fairly common practice in the world of opensource software, and services like github (where we and the original XKit Guy host our source code) allow you to edit other people’s software easily by “forking” it into your own directory. If you look at the github page, you’ll see that there are 72 forks of XKit, meaning 72 people have created their own offshoot version. XKit Guy uploaded his sourcecode to github with the intent of letting people do this.

Additionally, XKit is GPL-licensed, which grants users/other developers the right to share, copy, and modify the software. XKit Guy would have released his software under a more restrictive license if he were uncomfortable with this.

I hope this assuages your concerns!

Quick question. Is it a group of people or just one person updating all of this? Thanks a super bunch! Any way other people can help besides pointing out bugs?

Right now there are two people working on this. If you know javascript, you’re welcome to contribute code yourself over on github. If you don’t know how to use github, there should be tutorials floating around the internet.
