[jeffalo]

doing git pull every morning isn't that hard

Can this be closed?

I mean adding them manually, not from a store. Sorry, it's usually used more in the mobile dev/jailbreak scene. I'm A-E- btw and I think I will make some addons at some point. This project is really cool.

I don't see the point really, Chrome updates quite often

This is helpful for people sideloading.

@easrng Can you elaborate "sideloading"?

this is very off topic but i think it would be cool if there was like a global notification system so that addons can send notifications and stuff and also maybe once in a while, a notification could be pushed to all users (eg. Version 7 now available, update now) or something

[WorldLanguages]

@JeffaloBob The addon loader already proxies sent notifications, but at the moment they aren't stored anywhere after being sent. If we implement muting (#9) maybe we can let the user know what notifications they missed?

[GrahamSH-LLK]

This could be a dev mode only feature. The chrome web store updates too frequently for this to be an issue.

As far as I see, this won't work because of the way we do the system. Very soon, we will bump the version to 1.5.0 on gh, and users would be notified if this were implemented.

I don't think this is needed. My browser auto-updates.

Yes, but it isn't helpful for normal users at all because there is no way to force the browser to update an extension - what's the point of an "update available" message if you can't install it?

Eh, if we ever provide an official way for Safari users to sideload SA this would be a good addition (since they'd have to update manually pretty much)
