Hello! I am interested in doing this one. :)

[scottleedavis]

Had some time this afternoon to work on this, though as it is a near exact copy of @jwilander 's chrome extension except with some small tweaks, I don't deserve much credit for this. :)

This is awesome! :rocket: Please let me know, when this is ready for testing.

[scottleedavis]

Hi @hanzei I believe it is. :) Happy to fix or change anything during evaluation.

[hanzei]

I'm currently short on time and won't be able to review this.

@jasonblais Could you please own the review of this extension?

[hanzei]

@jasonblais @aaronrothschild Who will take care of reviewing this?

[jasonblais]

Aaron has been assigned as the reviewer. Thanks @scottleedavis for the contribution!

[scottleedavis]

@aaronrothschild would you like to revisit this working on your machine with me via zoom, or perhaps we find someone to help validate? I am not in a hurry, but also don't want to forget how to do it. :)

@aaronrothschild Gentle reminder about this issue

Ha, it's still on my radar - I brought it up just yesterday with my team. Still trying to get someone else to try it on their machine...

[scottleedavis]

Thank you @aaronrothschild . Were you able to get this running with QA/Dylan? I am happy to hop on zoom again to try getting this working. :)

[scottleedavis]

I am unable to support continued Development and support of this repo https://github.com/scottleedavis/mattermost-firefox-extension

However I have given @hanzei access in case there are changes needed.

[jasonblais]

Thank you Scott!

@hanzei @aaronrothschild wondering if we should close the help wanted issue and have further development / reports done via https://github.com/scottleedavis/mattermost-firefox-extension?

[hanzei]

:+1: I think we can close this issue. @aaronrothschild What do you think about listing the extension at https://integrations.mattermost.com/ ?
