Hey guys, I managed to finally wrap up all the things and release my version of SHINE for reddit.

Chrome version | Firefox version | Github

INFO: Firefox version got rejected on the store, they reviewed the code and didn't like few things (like jquery libs and stuff), I'll do the changes they want and reupload it. Sorry. If someone wants I can provide mirror without auto-updates tho.

Feedback is very welcome.

Here is the changelog:

• Theme and color selector (7 new themes and 9 colors)

• Support for clips.twitch.tv (both grid and list)

• Support for few NSFW sources: pornhub.com, xhamster.com and xvideos.com (list view only for now)

• Changelog window and updates notifications (you can disable them in options if - you find this annoying)

• Third view type is now accessible without going to the options

• "Hide Child Comments" should be more accessible in side comments view

• Many icons were changed and should be more crisp now

• Replaced post icons to a themeable versions

• v.redd.it support for Grid

• It's now possible to select more columns in grid mode

• Changed lines icon to Reddit Snu

• Replaced SHINE text with Reddit Snu

• Small animation on SHINE button hover

• A bit more color integration with RES

• Vimeo in grid mode is now fixed

• Facebook image fixes

• Small margin fixes for Firefox

• Premium features unlocked for everyone

• A lot of other fixes I can't really remember now

• Removed Clean Dark Theme

• All SVG files got removed

• All unnecessary files were removed (jpg pictures and stuff)

• Known bugs: Due to many changes, old nightmode (Legacy Night) is not looking as it should, I'm really sorry, it will be fixed in next version. Please, use any other black themes for now.

Hey guys, your feedback was truly motivating last time - thank you for all the kind words as well as ideas! I just pushed another release, it's probably last big update, from now on there will be only smaller ones (can't be sure tho).

Firefox version should be back, hopefully won't get rejected again, I think I fixed all the stuff they wanted me to fix.

Chrome version | Firefox version | Github

INFO: If you don't like the 1.6.0 release, I'm leaving it for few days on the github and you can always revert it.

Feedback is very welcome.

Here is the changelog:

• Next/Previous comment navigation, you can turn it on in Shine Settings (turning it on for first time requires refreshing the page)

• New white theme

• Three new colors

• Search in Shine now allows to limit search to current subreddit

• Breadcrumbs are now moved to the top

• Colors are now redone, more vibrant and better looking in most cases

• Known bugs: Due to changes and cleanups in settings, your theme might reset to default one, sorry but this had to be done.

I opened Reddit in a different browser to see what all the fuss is about and I actually like it. I prefer Shine though.

i have no affiliation with Shine whatsoever, but i felt this subreddit needed to remain open because of the recent sale of the app and the change of permissions that aren't kosher with most people.

at the very least, people need to be aware that there was an unexpected and malicious permissions change. use the app with caution until they make a change.

nobody knows who the new owners are and apparently they are not interested in support via this subreddit. they have not updated the contact/support links on the extension page, as well.

+++ Updated +++

whoa, a reviewer at the download site just posted this...

"Welcome to new malware. This addon injects various interesting content from readersfeed.com and data-monitor.info dynamically.

Injections are dynamic, so at this point its pretty mild, just the referer cookie abuse, but whats next?"

Firefox should already be updated, Chrome version might take a while, since it was removed by Google (they said it was falsely advertised :/) they want to manually check the update which might take few days according to them.

Anyway, here's changelog:

• Extension now redirects to old.reddit.com

• You can reverse J/K keys behavior via settings

• Removed new Reddit banners on sidebar and on the top.

• Clicking extension icon does not open Reddit anymore (I was working on disabling Shine on press but didn't have time to properly test, so I removed parts of the code but this is a leftover)

Firefox version: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shine-reddit/

Chrome version (when Google approves): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dlbccbcpelghmhkhmpefncahafgigkek/

Chrome version, that won't auto-update (install the one from Chrome Webstore when they finally accept it): https://www.dropbox.com/s/myotei1l562eulk/dlbccbcpelghmhkhmpefncahafgigkek_main.crx?dl=0

Hey, it's this time again. I know I was silent and it was really my fault, but I finally managed to update the extension.

This is probably the biggest update yet, I did a lot of testing so hopefully I did not break anything.

Update should be live any minute now for Chrome and Firefox. Feedback is very welcome

Hey, I took a look at making extensions for Firefox and it seems that most of the code worked out of the box. Please, be aware that I am not Firefox user and I never made any FF extension before, so yeah.

=== NEW 1.4.5.4 ===

=== OLD 1.4.5.1 ===

1.4.5.4 UPDATE

• Streamable support thanks to u/itzblitz94

• Loading speed-up

• Theme selector with Clean Dark theme (the same as in my Chrome version)

It has all the features of SHINE for reddit (unofficial), so:

1.4.5.1:

• Removed Google Analytics

• Shine Bright for everyone

• Imgur fixes

There are few things I will fix later, like file cleanup and also I'll try to find out how to make the code load a bit quicker (it kicks in a second after reddit loads).

Feel free to use and you can report bugs here, if you find any. I'll try to fix them if I can.

EDIT: Formatting.

Viewing an album doesn't work, single pictures however work.

With Shine active: If I visit a subreddit with GIFS (say /r/gifs ) for gifycat.com and i.redd.it hosted gifs the thumbnail shows fine, the Gif plays when I click on the post, no problem.

In grid view giffycat shows a GIF icon and i,redd,it shows a blank box, and netier plays once I click on the post.

Same issue in both Chrome and Firefox. Tested with new profiles and Shine as the only extension. Latest version of Shine.

imugur.com works just fine in all views, all platforms.

Thoughts?

Any time I switch to grid view the page fails to render and just loads a blank - I can mouse over posts and see a URL, but clicking does nothing to render it

I used to have this problem once in a while when loading the next page of posts in a subreddit, but a couple of refreshes usually fixed it - but now it's on every subreddit main page as soon as I switch to grid view

List and split work fine

Using Shine 1.7.2 for chrome and windows 10

I have already tried clearing all reddit related cookies and disabling all other extensions that impact the page like adblock or RES - but it all comes out the same when I switch to grid view and break the page

Hello Everyone,

since I've found SHINE, I really enjoy the benefits of this extension. SHINE is great! Unfortunately, with the launch of the redesign it doesn't work anymore for me. I use chrome. Is it only with me or at all? Is anyone working on an update? It would be a pity if shine would not work anymore in the future.best regards!

Okay so I searched Google and this subreddit as well but couldn't find anyone else with this problem. But, after I've scrolled enough, Shine becomes extremely slow when viewing video posts. It becomes so slow that sometimes the browser stops functioning. I use the third layout where you can see the feed on the left and clicking it shows the post on the right. Can anyone tell me what could be causing this issue?

My work laptop's specifications are -

1. 64 bit system, 8 GB RAM i5

2. Using Shine in Chrome

3. Other extensions installed - RES, Web for Instagram, YT Music Mini, Spotify Web Player Control with Lyrics, 2048 Game, Google Keep, uBlock origin, Dark Reader, Picture-in-Picture and finally Shine for Reddit.

I only use Chrome cause all my work is done online. So, there are no other applications running in the background. 'Un-loading' the post makes scrolling easier again. But loading the post just makes it crash. I really cannot figure out why.

I'm loving Shine but it's really frustrating that I can't see any flairs, especially in sports subs or tech subs where flair can actually be relevant to discussion.

I had problems running it the other day so I removed the extension and now I can't find it anywhere and the links to the chrome app store are now 404.

Hey guys, I just pushed an update with basic v.redd.it support for Shine. I did my own tests and it seems to be working correctly, hopefully you will get same results. Update 1.4.5.5 should be live in around 30 minutes.

Here is the link

Info: Currently there's only support for list view. I will add grid as well in the future.

Hiya. Wondering if you could look into disabling the floating button when one chooses to pop out chat to a new window. It consistently floats in front of chat text, and the way it's formatted you can't really resize anything to get it out of the way. The button is irrelevant in the chat window. Just my $0.00002.

Really enjoying the extension otherwise. Been using it for a couple of months. I notice that it doesn't carry the stylizing into say, search results or profile views, but I can live with that. I really love the way it opens posts in a drop-down and especially love the way it refreshes the post content if you move on and then come back to a post later. It all flows really well. Nice work. AND THANK YOU.

Does anyone know why and know a good alternative?

^{Note — first post to sub}

I really like how SHINE makes some of the old reddit subs look. However, it would be nice to be able to turn it off temporarily using the button in the bottom right corner in order to see/use a subreddit's CSS for a short while. Another nice feature would be to have a column in SHINE settings for which subs you want to not use SHINE on — like the subreddit + multireddit defaults but for disabling on a sub by sub basis.

The current alternative for me is going into the chrome://extensions menu, scrolling down to SHINE, and switching it off, and then reversing the process when I want it back on — not very convenient for me.

I pushed very minor update that will fix the CSS of the Secret Santa icon.

Hey there,

There's a weird theme bug. When you open a page on a new tab, the old page looses its theme and reverts to default. Only the latest page opened retains the intended theme.

Here's a quick vid explaning visually: https://youtu.be/yTP2-ckN9KE

Just wondering if anyone on the Chrome side of thing has any intentions of getting shine to work with the new profile page?

Thanks

Only just noticed this, but, when using the grid view, I think either most or all Imgur albums thumbnails are broken. Checking the console, it looks like someone may have made a small typo. EG:

A sssssssssssliippery slimy bug 😉

Using the split view, many image posts when clicked simply show a blank black (using a dark theme) area instead of opening the image. Sometimes refreshing can fix this but it quickly breaks again.

This has been happening over the last couple of days and I wasn't sure the pattern but I think I narrowed it down - the pagination feature of RES is breaking shine, if RES is enabled when I scroll down and a new set of posts is loaded I can't view any of them. Text posts or image posts, they all just load my split view screen with a black spot like they're trying to load an image, and they don't load the image or comments or anything.

I tried just disabling RES' never ending reddit option, but shine's auto loading doesn't seem to work if RES is enabled unless there's some other RES feature that's affecting it. I disabled RES for now and things are working but obviously I'd like to keep some RES features.
