| 2024-09-24 | Firefox user 18609523 | | This extension is amazing! One feature request: an option to have transparent link indicators automatically populate on the page every so often. The transparency and frequency should be configurable by the user. Why? Because navigating requires first pressing 'e' then scanning and parsing the tags. Having a faint ghost outline will speed up both the scanning and the parsing, making navigation almost instant. As soon as the user wants to click a link, they already instantly know what keys to press. The downside is that the automatically populating tags could be seen as obtrusive, so let the user adjust the transparency and frequency to their preference. (Or turn it off completely if they don't mind being slow pokes! :P) |

| 2024-09-20 | Andreas | | What a game changer! I just switched my development environment completely over to a vim centric style. So many daily tools on the command line use vim style keybindings, and help to get used to that style of navigation. This Vimium browser extension lets you use your finger muscle memory also while using the browser! In the browser I work a lot, and so this extension is a smooth productivity game changer! Thanks! |
