While contributing\nto that project I found that I did not understand a lot of things. I used this\nrepo as a notepad whenever I found out how something works.\n\nAs a consequence, this project is **not meant to be used in production**. That\nis not to say that it would not work. But I do not recommend it.\n\n# Differences to thunderbird-conversations\n\n-\tI ignored most edge-cases to keep the code straight-forward.\n-\tNo preview.\n-\tNo quickreply.\n-\tThe conversation view is not automatically updated when new messages come in.\n-\tThe conversation view is only triggered when you open a message in a new tab.\n\n# Things I learned while working on this\n\n-\tMany thunderbird APIs have next to no documentation. But reading the code is\n\tnot that bad and it is easily searchable with [DXR][2]. Much of the\n\tthunderbird code itself is actually written in JavaScript.\n-\tThe extensions relies heavily on [Gloda][5].\n-\tthunderbird-conversations was a [bootstrapped extension][3]. This has since\n\tbeen replaced by [web extensions][4]. Much of the functionality is not\n\tsupported via the new APIs so thunderbird-conversations now makes extensive\n\tuse of [WebExtension Experiments][6].\n-\tPlugging into enigmail is hard.\n-\tprotz and Standard8 did an amazing job handling all those edge cases and\n\tmaking it work for humans.\n\n# Install\n\nIf you feel adventurous and actually want to try this out, you will need to do\nthe following steps:\n\n-\tInstall node with npm and browserify as well as sassc.\n-\tRun `make`.\n-\tLink the repository to `$PROFILE/extensions/conversations@xi`.\n-\tRestart thunderbird.\n\n[1]: https://github.com/thunderbird-conversations/thunderbird-conversations\n[2]: https://searchfox.org/comm-central/source\n[3]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Bootstrapped_extensions\n[4]: https://webextension-api.thunderbird.net/\n[5]: https://web.archive.org/web/20210601133829/https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Creating_a_Gloda_message_query\n[6]: https://webextension-api.thunderbird.net/en/stable/how-to/experiments.html\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxi%2Fxi-conversations","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fxi%2Fxi-conversations","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxi%2Fxi-conversations/lists"}
