Roadmap

[AXeL-dev]

This is a simple roadmap (or let's call it a todo list?) for things that would be interesting to add in future releases:

Feel free to contribute to this list (using the comments section below) if ever you wanna see any new feature been added to the extension, perhaps adding some screenshots, detailed descriptions or even code examples can be really helpful.

• Block settings: add an option to prompt websites url & modify it before adding it to blacklist/whitelist (when using the + button).
• Password settings: add possibility to generate a random password.
• As suggested by @oatly93, user should be able to add new website(s) without the need to enter the password (if it's enabled), maybe add an option under password settings to allow "Adding websites without entering the password".
• Icon should change per tab/website, depending on if the url is blocked or not (maybe made this optional via an option on the settings, just to keep the current behavior).
• Unblock settings: option to display unblock button on context menu instead of on the page itself (can be handy to hide the button).
• Miscellaneous: add an option to display the number of blocked websites via extension badge (save number in storage or only in a temp var, or both depending on user preferences? [accumulative count, or reset count on browser startup]).
• Block page template: add possibility to customize the template (set customized HTML for example).
• Review settings storage: save all settings under a unique object named settings or preferences.

Hey man,
great job so far! I'm really loving the extension - as said, I'm using it to overcome an addiction...
I randomized my password so I don't get the option to just unblock websites at will. However, at times I find websites which I hadn't blocked before so I'd love to see the option of blocking a website with just a button without getting into the whole configuration (specially because I can't, it's password protected and like I said, I randomised the pass so I don't know it).

This is an awesome extension, thank you so much for making this.

Are you also taking contributors for this project? I would love to help with this.

My pleasure!

Yeah sure, the project is open source, so you can simply fork it & send a pull request with your modifications once done, as well, if you have anything to discuss you can either create a new issue or contact me directly on my email or discord account.

Block page template: add possibility to customize the template (set customized HTML for example)

Would be cool to have an option to have the blocked URL in a text box that can be copied.
I have two browser profiles and use this add-on to block the sites that should be opened in the other profile, but it's a bit inconvenient, because I can't copy the URL into the other browser because for some reason the extension IDs don't match...

🤔 I'm not sure of which text box that you're talking about? Can you provide a screenshot/video of the issue? Still if you wanna copy your urls between multiple browsers/profiles you can simply use the export/import feature.

[binarynoise]

It's not an existing box, I envisioned something like this:

So I can select and copy the URL from there.

The export/import feature works great, but won't work in this scenario, as I only want the URL that is currently blocked.

[AXeL-dev]

Well that makes sense, sure i'll add this feature on the next release (& make it optional).

[AXeL-dev]

@binarynoise the feature you asked for was added in version 2.7.0, you still have to enable it from the blocking settings "Display blocked link" option.

Looks great, thank you!
