A browser extension for gathering, organizing, and inspecting all the links on a

web page. It's also pretty good at finding broken links (404). This extension

allows you to:



### Inspect links



- Highlight broken links on a page (i.e. 404)

- Highlight non-secure links on a page (i.e. http)

- Quickly find, view, organize, and navigate links on a page

- See the status and reasoning for requests that don't succed

- View links and where they redirect to before navigating



### Organize links



- Group links by their primary domain name

- Create a tab group from a set of selected links (_\*Chrome only_)

- Save a set of selected links as bookmarks



### Interact with links



- Copy links to clipboard

- Open links in a new window or tab

- Open individual links in a background tab

- Export links as `json`, `text`, or `csv`

- Export detailed URL and fetch request data

## Local development



Before making edits you will need to build the extension locally and side load

it as a developer extension to test any changes.



> At the moment, v3 and v2 manifest API conflicts are making things difficult.

> The Rollup config programmatically compiles two different versions depending

> on the manifest. For Chrome, the v3 manifest in the `dist` folder is the one

> to load. For Firefox, you will need to build and load the zipped release

> version with `yarn release`.



### 1. Clone the repo



Clone the repo to your local machine and navigate into the root directory.



```shell

cd link-roamer

```



### 2. Install dependencies



Link Roamer uses yarn to build the necessary dependencies.



```shell

yarn

```



### 3. Start and watch a build



For development with automatic reloading:



```bash

yarn start

```



This will build to the `dist` folder. To load the extension, open the Extensions

Dashboard, enable "Developer mode", click "Load unpacked", and choose the

`dist/v3-manifest` folder.



When you make changes in src the background script and any content script will

reload automatically.



### 4. Start the server



You'll need to start up the server to make fetch calls and check statuses. To build content from the `src/api` folder, run:



```bash

yarn watch

```



This will startup the server and restart it any time a change is recompiled from rollup.

It's free, and made available because I enjoy making useful things for the web.
