Now being taken down because of infringe upon the trademarks of Facebook

Motivation

There are times I wish I could find some specific post but just can't remember where it is.

I realize we need a better way to mark the post (not just saved link or added to later),

So I come up with this idea - just integration with our familiar usage - Chrome BookMarks

Now through installation, you would get a star on each of the fb post.

If you click it, modal would pop put then asking folder and name which you wanna attach this post - just like chrome bookmarks.

And if it succeed, the star will turn blue indicating you next time you see the post.

Development

You should do this before editing any code to see how it works.

  1. git clone https://github.com/transedward/facebook-marks.git
  2. npm install
  3. npm install gulp -g
  • If there is problem with missing gulpfile, uninstall npm uninstall gulp -g and install again. You have probably old non-babel compatible version
  1. Run gulp which will start webpack-dev-server
  2. In Chrome open chrome://extensions/
  3. Check Developer mode
  4. Click on Load unpacked extension
  5. Add facebook-marks/build
  6. Now you can check background script via link in extension Inspect views: background page
  7. Navigate to https://www.facebook.com/ and open development tools and console.
  8. You can edit your codebase with almost 100% hot/full reload support.

Build

  1. run gulp -p
  2. It will compile scripts, styles and other assets into release/build/
  3. It will make chrome extension into release/build.crx with certificate release/build.pem
