look into BabelExt

[chadwhitacre]

@ironchefpython would BabelExt from @honestbleeps help here? It promises Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari. Would obviate #2 and #3.

I'd be more than happy to answer any questions about BabelExt if you're interested in using it! I haven't written extensive documentation yet, which is why I haven't actively promoted it, but I'd be more than happy to help if I can!

The code is currently a userscript that adds a single button to github pages. While BabelExt seems to focus on abstracting browser variances, the current userscript does pure DOM manipulation, and thus doesn't really need to worry about brwoser quirks.

That being said, if you had a pipeline where you could drop a userscript into one end, and have all browser extentions build, signed, and uploaded to the various repositories, that would be useful.

Well, BabelExt provides the necessary "boilerplate" for all 4 browsers as
well, which would save you a little bit of time, but it doesn't do a full
build pipeline in terms of automating compilation, etc. I'm not sure that
it ever will because Chrome and Safari have their own internal methods done
from within the browser, and while they may exist - I'm not aware of any
commandline tools that'll replace that.

I wondder if one could leverage existing browser automation tools (likes the ones for Selenium) to script the browser specific actions...
