tab

Get a nice picture each time you open a new blank tab.

Note: before reporting a bug, please checkout opened issues first.

Usage

Online

Set putaindecode.io/tab/ as a url for your new tab/window. Do not remove the trailing slash or you will get a redirection (with the slash) which will create a lag every time you will open a new tab.

Firefox

Go to about:config?filter=browser.newtab.url and set http://putaindecode.io/tab/ or add in your user.js

user_pref("browser.newtab.url", "http://putaindecode.io/tab/");

From a local folder

This project include a command to run this app locally for a given folder

$ git clone https://github.com/putaindecode/tab.git
$ cd tab
$ npm install
$ PUTAINDETAB_PATH="/Users/Shared/Photos" npm run generate-localhost
$ npm run copy-app
$ npm run hide-app

Notes:

  • generate-localhost will create an images.js & index.apache.conf in $PUTAINDETAB_PATH by executing generate-dir-index then generate-conf-apache,
  • copy-app will copy the app files (index.html|js|css) in $PUTAINDETAB_PATH,
  • hide-app will copy just hide those file by using chflags. Nice to avoid noise in your folder (note that unhide-app make the reverse).

Now go into localhost/tab & enjoy.

Ignore files

You can place in your $PUTAINDETAB_PATH folder a .putaindetabignore file that will behave like commons ignore file (pattern/wildcard supported). Here is an example

Contributing

We do not have a builded app for now (see #23), but we use an appcache file.
This means every modifications in every cached files (for now the entire app & assets) need a corresponding update in the cache manifest.
Updating the timestamp in the cache.appcache file manually should do the trick until we automate all the things.

Work on a branch & respect coding style.
