Show HN: Turn scripts from userscripts.org into Safari Extensions
- Derferman 16y agoAfter writing a user script for adding a download link to Mixest, I wanted an easy way to install it in Safari. Firefox already has Greasemonkey and Chrome has native support for userscripts.org, so I thought Safari needed some love. If anyone has suggestions on how to generate an archived, signed extension instead of just a folder, I would love to implement a solution.
- Groxx 16y agoWhy not just store the scripts in the safari.extension.settings or the local storage, and write the extension to load arbitrary ones? Add in an interface similar to UserCSS ( http://code.grid.in.th/ http://code.grid.in.th/ ), and I don't see what else you'd need. Though you could add install buttons to userscripts, and script auto-updating, and a whole mess of whatnots to it if you wanted. (not sure what'd be fastest / the best option, I'll leave that up to you to find out)
- bombs 16y agoThis is great, but I'd love to see a Safari Extension version of GreaseKit [http://8-p.info/greasekit/ http://8-p.info/greasekit/], which works fine with Safari 5, but is still based on SIMBL.
