Brainstorm Me!

The web extension that helps you brainstorm while browsing.

Brainstorm Me! is a Firefox web extension that allows you to collect brainstorming ideas along your navigation. Just Right-Click on a selected text and choose "Brainstorm Me!". It adds the idea to your brainstorming bank so you can edit it later.

Installation

Download

The extension is not yet available on the Firefox addon store, but you can build it yourself and try it using the debugging tools.

Build the extension

This project requires NodeJS and NPM. From there, you can build without any problems using those two comands.

npm install
npm run build

The "build" script uses Webpack to bundle the Babel transpiled files and outputs everything inside the folder dist/. Preact is used to render the popup.

Development setup

Webpack live server

You can launch the development environment with :

npm run dev

This command compiles the code on the fly and updates automatically the extension on the Firefox development environment generated by the web-ext npm package.

Unit testing

You may want also to test the brainstorming API with this command also :

npm run test

It uses Jest and displays by default the coverage.

Release History

• 0.0.1
