Re: First Release of Hachette, an extension packaging hacks for JS-encumbered websites

Actually, it kind of supports it. You can paste the replacement's
source verbatim into the extension and tell it to use that or you can
instead provide a url to script and a sha256 sum and the extension
shall download it.
Other than that, there are still many things that need to be done
before it becomes truly usable. If curious, see TODOS.org in the git
repo.

That's what I've been waiting to hear for almost 9 months. Thank you :)
Once you're ready to go with git, send me your ssh public key and I
will give you push access to my extension's repo. I might try to
document the project in the meantime, so as to make it easier to
cotribute

Right now there isn't. I might come up with something, though.

After looking at your extension (and also Adonay's one) I now realize
the big need for CSS injection feature, thanks!


Best,
