Question about AddOns

[thepossum]

Hi there

 

Occasionally I have mentioned a few simple functions that would be useful immediately after a hand

I am aware of the BBO Helper extension in Chrome

Do you have to be a BBO developer to develop and addon that accesses the BBO site in that way and performs functions on hands that have been played

Also are there addons for other browsers eg Edge. I find sometimes Chrome causes me problems and Edge performs better

I don't know if I personally would have the time (or knowledge) to program addons but I imagine it is only possible for people associated with BBO

 

The function I most want which drives me crazy always is my need for an annotation tool - easily done with a notebook and pen - but a little button would be great.

I really struggle remembering issues even a few hours later and even more the motivation to go through all my hands and remember what I was was worried about at the time - especially in the middle of a bidding sequence exploring all the options

 

Its the "I had no idea what to do here" addon

 

Thanks

I doubt that any of the add-on developers were current or former BBO developers, certainly the one I know was not.

 

The current Edge is basically Chrome under a different name, so you should not see any performance difference. As I understand it you can even use add-ons for Chrome with no modifications or limitations.

So its possible to access aspects of the BBO interface through some public API

 

Was it Matthew(??) Kidd who built BBO Helper

 

I am curious. I am trying to decipher all the traffic that goes to and fro

 

But I do not feel particularly motivated, even if qualified, to try to add any functions myself

 

I may just use the screenshot button

With the "Tampermonkey" extension you can inject your own Javascript code into the BBO page without the need to publish your own addon.

 

If you think about a feature that could be of interest to the community if BBO users, let me know and I could add it to the BBOalert program.
