glide

Once again I have to let people know about glide[0], fork of Firefox. I know a lot of people here like keyboard-driven and scriptable software, and glide shines at both. Keyboard control in it is so so much better than the extensions for Chrome or Firefox, and I'm quite happy how easily the API allows me do my own customizations. (as an example when I open HN in new tab with my bind ,sn , if I already have HN front page open it will refresh it, focus it and move it to the tab index where new tab would otherwise have opened. Really simple stuff in glide, not so much in others) [0[ https://github.com/glide-browser/glide

Just as FYI, for people currently using firefox or want to use firefox but found its keyboard control (or plugins like Vimperator) lacking, I really recommend glide[0] highly. I've used qutebrowser for years as I feel the keyboard controlled web is much more convenient, and there hasn't been any reasonable competition to qutebrowser. The vim keyboard control plugins for chrome or firefox don't fit the bill for me, they feel slow, are often out of focus, and quite limited. glide fixes all of those problems, supports firefox extensions and has a really powerful and approachable scripting API. It's alpha but feels quite ready, I've been running it a few weeks full time and loved the experience. [0] https://github.com/glide-browser/glide

A coworker (hi Robert!) created his own version of Firefox that doesn’t suck, with sane defaults and keyboard centric: https://github.com/glide-browser/glide Pretty impressive project, and it’s really nice to use, I would recommend to give it a try

Ah not yet sadly - https://github.com/glide-browser/glide/discussions/3 I personally prefer non-smooth scrolling as it feels faster.

ah yeah sorry about that, the API docs aren't quite complete yet. I'd recommend just looking at the glide.d.ts[0], it should be pretty readable (I hope). Yes the TS API supports it as well with the `selector` property: ``` glide.hints.show({ selector: "..." }); ``` > Also, would you consider making it return a promise instead of taking a callback? I think that would be more ergonomic. The reason it doesn't return a Promise directly is because the hints that are generated are not static, try scrolling while hints are active and you'll see them refresh. So the return type would have to be something else to work well with this functionality imo. [0]: https://github.com/glide-browser/glide/blob/8171c5c2af000b71...
