Troubles understanding extension usage
Closed this issue · 9 comments
Hello, I would like to ask how this extension is supposed to work. When I enable it, the only thing added I can notice is the leftmost icon here:
But when I click on it, nothing happens.
Hi @pidgeon777! Glad to know someone is using this script.
It worth adding some user manuals to save time and make usage more convenient, so I'll do it soon anyway.
Some screenshots will answer your questions easily:
navigate to user profile, click helper button
wait for a notification
open dev tools
see the lists of users
for instance, these users do not follow me, while I follow them (usually celebrities or people that use Instagram rarely or haven't noticed my following request)
Beware that this script works only in a web view, NOT within Android/iOS app.
First of all, thanks for the nice guide. Regarding your script popularity, for sure it deserves more visibility. I'm confident it will improve in the upcoming weeks.
I tried as you suggested, but as soon as I click on the "Start analyzing" button, the following error message appears in the console:
I tried this when loading these pages:
But the outcome is the same.
I installed your script from here:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/399405-instagram-not-mutual-followers
Oh, I checked it right now and this bug is reproducible on my computer as well. Thanks for reporting!
It looks like I haven't took into account usernames with numbers and this analyzer couldn't parse the username from the URL. Fix will be available soon, I'll notify you in this thread.
Thank you. I'll ask another question, about updating the script.
As I stated before, I downloaded and installed it starting from the greasyfork.org website.
My question is, does it supports auto-updating? I mean, when you update your GitHub repository, will my installed script also receive the update? (I use Tampermonkey).
I'm also interested in auto updates, currently I don't yet know whether it's possible. Before I've updated it manually from the GreasyFork each time I publish a new version. I'll also notify you if I find something.
@pidgeon777 the answer on your last question:
there is no such a possibility for auto-updates. It's tenable, otherwise, developers will hack user accounts without letting them know.
But users can update scripts from Tampermonkey dashboard, like so:
@pidgeon777 docs are now more clear, I think. Please ping me if something has to be clarified.
First of all, absolutely great work. Many improvements have been made and now the script is even useful than before.
I've just a question: does the "Only if they follow me" column report the users who follow me but that I do not follow back?
Yes, exactly, users from this column follow you, but you're not follow them.
