GitHub Trending, Hacker News and Product Hunt, on every new tab!

---

Devo is a Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox extension that displays GitHub Trending, Hacker News, Product Hunt and more platforms on every new tab. It caches the information for 30 minutes, so that there is no extra calls to the external services, hence allowing a faster experience.

Installation

Devo can be installed for Chrome here, and Firefox here.

For installation on Safari:

1. 
2. Once deployed, update homepage on safari.

Demo

Demo can be found here.

Platforms

Devo currently supports:

• GitHub Trending
• Hacker News
• Product Hunt
• Designer News
• DEV Community
• Lobsters
• TabNews

Adding a new platform

Adding a new platform is super easy. All you need to do is:

• add a body component that will be displayed in the cards.
• export the body component from the src/components/bodies.js file.
• add the details for the platform to the src/settings.js file.
• add the state to the src/store.js file.

You can check the HackerNews component to see how easy it is to add a new platform. Feel free to submit pull requests or ask questions regarding adding a new platform, any kind of input is appreciated.

How to build?

First of all, you need to install the dependencies. After that, you can run the build command and the optimized bundle will be created in dist/ directory:

npm install # install the dependencies.
npm run build # build the optimized bundle.

devo's Issues

GitHub Trending tab to disappear

It has been announced that the Trending tab would disappear starting September 30.
Maybe you could pull the data from OSS Insight instead?

Background image

It would be nice to add the ability to set a image as a background instead of the white or black background, then it would all look like widgets on the chrome start page.

Github Trending, Product Hunt and Hacker News have problems

Hell @karakanb
thanks for this add-on! It is really useful!

Today I found some wierd behavoir with the tabs, Please find the screenshot below:

"Dev Community" and "Designer News" are loading fine, so the problem is only with "Github Trending", "Product Hunt" and "Hacker News"

Lobste.rs: doesn't link to comment threads

when you click on a item without a URL it just reloads the page.

(I have a PR, this is just for reference).

Website/extension looks broken.

Getting infinite loading..

Dark Mode

Hello,

Great job on this extension ! Neat UI and useful.
Could be nice if we can get a dark mode, what do you think ?

Demo is not working

Wrong height when loading

Hi, the recent update with the two-column option is awesome! However, I noticed a minor UI issue when both columns are loading (as shown in the screenshot). I found that this issue applies to SingleColumn and ThreeColumn as well. I quickly found a fix for this issue and created pull request for this. :) I confirmed that the fix works on chrome and firefox.

An option for opening links in new tabs

Hi, thanks for this add-on. I really enjoy it so far!

While browsering through devo, I noticed one missing piece for myself is the feature to open links in new tabs. This would allow one to keep the scrolling status of the add-on page after a peek to a link in new tab. Hopefully this sounds to be useful.

This should be easy to implement with just a target="_blank" attribute. The tricky part is where to put the switch for turning it on (maybe a small popup menu for placing all different configurations including the existing switch for night mode).

Let me know if this is something you are interested in and if possible I'm happy to contribute a PR :D

Remove productivity tag from Github repo

Since installing this extension I have lost my job.

Grid views not working

Hey! Thanks for the great work with this extension. I love it :)

Just stumbled upon a small bug - changing grid views is not working for me, showing everything in a Single Column view.

Extension blocked by windows security

I have been using this extension for the past couple of months but I recently started seeing this issue with windows defenders while using the extension. I see this security alert every time I open a new tab.

Need to Manually Update a Section

Hi,

Since the update where you require permission to access devo.burakkarakan.com my content doesn't automatically update anymore. I need to manually click the update button.

I don't have any messages in my console.

Firefox extension missing

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/devo-new-tab/ - this 404s

Add support for Lobsters on burakkarakan.com/devo/

The website currently has no option for Lobsters.
Could you add it?

Follow system theme feature

First of all, I have to say that I really love this extension and can't live without it now.
Now, talking about the "problem": I'd love to see a "follow system theme" auto-switch in the extension. I like to keep my OS (macOS) in automatic theme mode, and while many applications and websites auto-switch from light to dark mode (and viceversa), Devo keeps the previously selected option. It isn't a big deal, obviously, but it would be nice if we could have this new option implemented, maybe with a three way switch or a simple checkbox.

Github Trending display nothing.

Official Demo :

My Chrome Extension :

My guess is that a GET request on the domain https://devo.burakkarakan.com/api/github sends 200 status but returns no data.

API seems to be erroring, no content will load

It looks like requests to the API (https://devo.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/) seem to be erroring, leading to no content loading. Strange thought that it still works on burakkarakan.com/devo.

I've tried on Firefox and Chrome and still see the same issue.

404 error on ProductHunt tab

Seems there is an issue with the ProductHunt tab.
In console there is 404 error.

https://devo.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/producthunt.json

Options button does not work on chrome new tab extension

Wanted to switch one of the cards to lobste.rs but the settings button on the bottom right is not clickable

Are you going to open the backend source too?

ability to resize the window?

There should be an ability to resize the window. For example, if I want product hunt to be larger than GitHub tending?

Adding Indie Hackers(IH) in dashboard

it would be nice to have Indie Hackers(IH) top pages in the dashboard.

Hacker News wont appear

Hacker News wont appear on the new tab Devo, but the site page directly from URL work normally

Alt ve sağ tarafta scrollbar görünme problemi

Merhaba,

Chrome eklentisinde alt ve sağ tarafta scroll çıkıyor. CSS kodlarını incelemem sonucu .row sınıfında

margin-left: -.5rem;
margin-right: -.5rem;

değerlerini kaldırmam sonucu düzeldiğini fark ettim. Seyir halinde olduğum için düzenleme yapıp gönderemiyorum.

Bu konuyu incelerseniz sevinirim.

Teşekkürler.

Introduce GitHub CI for building the package to upload the stores

So far I have been manually:

• checking out the master branch
• changing the version number in the manifest.json file
• tagging the release
• building the project
• zipping the source code

all manually. This process is cumbersome, and it causes me to make mistakes, as well as producing releases slowly. Ideally, I'd like to be able to publish to the stores automatically as soon as a release is built, but that might be tricky due to the lack of tools out there currently to publish to the stores via an API; however, there's no reason to not to have a simple CI pipeline that'll simplify this process.

Create a new release

Every time there's a new release, we'd like to:

• update the manifest.json with the new tag
• build the source code and make the ZIP archive available
• create a ZIP archive of the source code, excluding the dependencies

This way, I can simply download the files and upload them to the stores as a first step.

Network Error: Failure To Load Api

Recently been getting some errors and hackernews / github not loading:

Enhancement: window customizations

Hi,
First of all, Thank you for this plugin. This is very simple and useful.

I was wondering if we can add some simple window customizations. Like if I want to see 'Hacker News' in the bigger window instead of Github.

Thanks!

Add support for filtering based on languages and time range.

First off, thanks for your work, this is an awesome extension! :D

It'd be nice if we could filter the GitHub trending repos based on the programming language and the time range, since GitHub does support it.

Disable autoplay for producthunt gifs

Would be nice to have an option to disable autoplay / maybe only on hover

Selecting a different service from each of the dropdowns does nothing in Safari

I don't expect a Safari extension to be created, so I am just using the live demo version set as my Safari homepage, but the dropdown doesn't trigger a change.

Always resets to light mode

Thanks for great extension. I've been using devo for some time.
But I have an issue about the last update. Since today, the extension started switching to light mode every time I open a new tab. Uugh, my eyes hurt.

Option to toggle component visibility

Option to let the user choose which components he wants to see

Out of the box the plugin comes with Github Trending, HN and PH, but what If a user is only interested in Github Trending.

Current solution for disabling a component is probably to compile your own extension with required changes and then install it, this route seems like a lot of unnecessary work for a very basic option.

Thoughts?

Product Hunt Broken

Product Hunt feed does not refresh.

Thank you for this lovely extension. 🍻
I think there is a small issue with the Product Hunt feed. The Product Hunt feed has been showing the feed of the 5th of April since 2 days. There is no any change when I refresh it.

DEV community shows old feed

Hi there,

Thanks for the extension!

I noticed that DEV community is showing old posts not sure if there's a way to just fetch latest.

Cheers
