First draft of rewrite to Webextension and Rust This proves that frames can be generated on Firefox using the canvas and a Tree Walker to examine text nodes. Already with little optimisation frames don't ever take longer than 200ms to render. Chrome has a MediaStream of the viewport, hopefully that will prove performant as well. This doesn't have functioning text colour detection or text occlusion support. But early research suggests this will possible by comparing 2 screenshots: one with and the other without rendered text. 2017-12-30 13:37:28 +00:00			`interfacer/target`
First working draft of Golang interfacer After weighing up the options it seems that Golang's termbox-go TTY library has better support for terminals, and it's cross-platform out of the box. So this commit is the first working version where the interfacer launches a websocket server, makes a connection to the webextension and listens to STDIN from the CLI, sending all input to the webextenstion. 2018-01-07 03:21:29 +00:00			`interfacer/vendor`

Launch and install webextension from client This means that Browsh can now be entirely run just by running the CLI binary. The client launches Firefox as a subprocess, then connects to it via the Marionette protocol, installs the webextension and finally triggers a new tab with, currently, the Google homepage in it. I was trying to set this up for automated testing as well by installing the built webextension as a temporary addon, because otherwise you need to sign the extension everytime with a unique semantic version. However for some reason I can't quite recreate the environment that MDN's `web-ext` creates. The extension installs fine but fails to load the `content.js` script, I can't find a backtrace or any other details about the failure. So for now, we're just going to have to use `web-ext` as seperate process and have the client connect to that. Which is what one should do during development anyway, so it's not a huge loss. 2018-01-21 03:56:05 +00:00			`interfacer/webextension.go`

Sample text colour using monochar block font trick Using JS's `getComputedStyle()` for every character is too CPU intensive, so instead I'm experimenting with using a custom font to take the canvas snapshot. The font is made up of only the unicode block character, which basically fills the entire space given to a monospace glyph. This also means that we can fairly reliably work out the visibility (whether it's obscured or hidden with CSS) of text. 2018-01-01 14:10:10 +00:00			`webext/dist`
