Explanation

This is a tiny little browser extension that does a couple things:

  • tells you if a site is hosted on Netlify
  • if it is:
    • if it is a .netlify.com host, check if it is open source:
      • if it is:
        • show you a link to deploy log AND github page
      • else:
        • show you a link to deploy log, only useful if you own it
    • else:
      • nothing else we can do
  • else:
    • not active

How it works

Honestly its probably more complicated than needs to be but i based it off of other extensions that do the same thing.

  • inject content-script into every page
  • script pings background.js that there is a new page
  • background.js activates the "browser action" (the little logo on the browser bar) if its a Netlify site by sniffing the Server field in the response header.
  • if it is a Netlify site and you click the "browser action":
    • if it is on .netlify.com host, popup.js checks if it is open source and manipulates popup.html accordingly.
