Seems like a great idea. Congratulations on launching.
I'm not sure I'm willing to install a Chrome extension to be able to use this, though. I try to keep my extensions down to a minimum.
- tyingq 9y agoAlso hampered by Google's refusal to support Chrome extensions on Android and IOS. What's their motivation for this policy?
- kasbah 9y agoThat reminds me that I should make the extension work for mobile Firefox. I keep wondering though: do people order electronic components on their mobile?
- tyingq 9y agoI do, but I don't know if that means much. Certainly mobile is overtaking desktop in total overall traffic.
- jtokoph 9y agoNot sure about android, but Chrome on iOS isn’t even chrome. It’s a slightly different UI on top of an iOS web view component. So integrating extensions would be a challenge.
- kasbah 9y agoThanks! You can order from Digikey and Newark/Farnell without the extension though it's still a little bit better with it (less steps for Digikey and references are added for Newark/Farnell). The extension source code is available at: https://github.com/monostable/1clickBOM https://github.com/monostable/1clickBOM and it's been extensively reviewed by Mozilla for getting it up on addons.mozilla.org. (Source code for Kitspace is on https://github.com/monostable/kitspace https://github.com/monostable/kitspace by the way.)
- amelius 9y agoYou could create a new user profile, and install the extension only for that user.
