Convert Akafuku to work on 4chan?

Name: Anonymous 2008-03-12 19:43

Hello /prog/

Let me start this out by saying that I know nothing about programming.

I am a Futaba (www.2chan.net) user, and over there we have a wonderful set of Firefox extensions known as Akafuku and Aima Aima ni (http://www.unmht.org/futaba/).  These do far more than the 4chan Firefox Extension, and include such features as one-click image saving, thread archiving, pop-up windows that display the target of >>(postnumber), or even >(quote) on mouseover, extensive spam filters, etc. etc.

Having a program like this for 4chan would be fucking awesome.  I know 4chan is based off of Futaba, but how hard would it be to reverse engineer this to work with 4chan?

Translate the pages & the technical details (if any) and then we'll see.

If the source is available it should be a days work.

Oh wow. I didn't know about that. Since Futaba's software is a failure (what the crap, no linking back to quoted posts?), I assumed Elevens just enjoyed their Web 0.5.

I'm going to look into this.

Almost.

4chan is an extensively modified version of a piece of software called Futallaby which itself is a modified version of Futaba.

I doubt this should have much impact on the porting of the Futaba extensions as the basic underlying framework resides within all three incarnations of the software.

Another thing to consider is whether the m♥♥t would allow use of such a tool.

The current extension is pretty much endorsed by 4chan administration, so it is not unreasonable to think that they retain a certain amount of control over its development and functionality (I doubt they would dedicate an entire section of the site to it).

Nonetheless, the awesomeness of the Futaba extension intrigues me, so I'll keep my eye on this thread.

Oh, and OP: Welcome to /prog/, where your other car is a cdr. I would lurk and just stick to this thread for a bit if I were you.

what.

if mootle doesn't like it, what's he going to do? ban all firefox users? yeah you might not necessarily get the exposure of having it on one of 4chan's main pages, but that doesn't mean it can't exist.

Well, I've got news for you: you're a retard.

Congratulations.

Because they're morons. Even Trevor has managed to include all its functionality in regular Javascript so it's available in all modern browsers. Check out 7chan.

Looking inside Akahuku it's all JavaScript in English so knock yourself out.

This has already been implemented as a hidden easter egg feature. The function call occurs based upon a specific date and random number.

False. They did this on the Mythbusters.

So how about it? We could make an addon that complements the 4chan extension with what's missing.

Firefox extensions are zip archives with javascript code. What you need is called fork()

Thread archiving, batch saving and searching has already been covered well enough by chanmongler. It works perfectly with all browsers (that is ie, opera and failurefox). There is simply no reason to write another tool to do the exact same stuff.

English is not my native language, but isn't ``You forget'' correct as well? Or would that be ``You are forgetting''?

``You forget most of /prog/ doesn't use Windows.'' is correct, >>28 just felt like spicing things up, a don't -> doesn't change leaves less of an impact.

I'll bet you a dollar that most visitors to /prog/ use Windows. Hell, more than one fourth probably use IE.
