Do we have enough coders to collaborate on an extension like this? - eviltoast

EDIT: the extension now supports Lemmy comments!

https://lemmy.world/post/9401361

Youtube comments are historically terrible so this Reddit comment for YouTube is a great extension to never have to read YouTube comments. I no longer use Reddit though and would love to have a similar extension using Lemmy comments that also work on piped/invidious and maybe be compatible with any website/link

Do you think this could be crowdsourced as a collaboration by the Lemmy community to make this an AGPL extension? If so how do we get started? (Idk how to code)

(The extension in the picture is an extension that adds Reddit Comments under a youtube video https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reddit-comments-for-youtube/ )

    Learn to code. Otherwise, there’s no “we”.

    Nobody is going to do programming work for you for nothing. Plenty of ideas men thanks, don’t need any more.

      Its not working on a project “for me” or “for nothing” its for the lemmy/fediverse community as a whole. Like every other lemmy open source extension, most clients, lemmy itself.

        Then wait for the community to implement the thing you want.

        Or learn to code.
