I'm quite proud of the little test I wrote to figure out which DOM APIs could be used to detect the visibility of different kinds of elements, in order that we could display link hints correctly: https://github.com/philc/vimium/blob/master/test_harnesses/visibility_test.html https://github.com/philc/vimium/blob/master/test_harnesses/v...
- philc 4y agoYou crushed it Jez! I wish we could work on more projects together.
- int3 4y agoIt was a great experience! Thanks for your code reviews and mentorship :) Not sure I'll have much time to work on OSS in the foreseeable future, but it would certainly be nice to work together again.
- AzzieElbab 4y agoThank you both. I have been minimizing mousing after injuring my shoulder. Vimium is a godsend to me
- edanm 4y agoOh really? I've been using it for years and love it, so thanks for that!
- danielskogly 4y agoHow fun! I'm also quite proud of another contribution, also related to detecting visibility, but this time with `document.elementFromPoint` to filter out elements completely covered by other ones :) https://github.com/philc/vimium/pull/2251 https://github.com/philc/vimium/pull/2251
- tambourine_man 4y agoVery clean code, extremely readable. If you can understand everything at first pass, that's gold.
- mijoharas 4y agoI think vimium was one of my first open source contributions too! I built the custom search engines feature (which I ironically don't use much anymore).
- comfypotato 4y agoLink hints are the best part!
