Convert Akafuku to work on 4chan?

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?

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.
