unsight.dev browser extension #

A browser extension (work in progress) that enhances GitHub issue pages by adding a "Similar Issues" section to the issue header. This feature helps users discover related issues more easily.

Installation #

From the root of the monorepo, run:

pnpm install

Development #

To start the development server, run:

pnpm -F webext dev
pnpm -F web dev # to run the API locally

or

pnpm dev # to run both the API and the extension

When building the project locally copy the .env.example file to .env.local and fill in the required values:

VITE_UNSIGHT_DOT_DEV_BASE_URL="http://localhost:3000"

Then load extension in browser with the extension/ folder.

For Firefox developers, you can run the following command instead:

pnpm -F web dev
pnpm -F webext dev-firefox

web-ext auto reload the extension when extension/ files changed.

While Vite handles HMR automatically in the most of the case, Extensions Reloader is still recommended for cleaner hard reloading.

Build #

To build the extension, run

pnpm -F webext build

ensure you have a .env file for the production build or pass the values as environment variables.

And then pack files under extension, you can upload extension.crx or extension.xpi to appropriate extension store.
