I was about to use https://github.com/defunkt/dotjs to get cross-browser content script injection but it would not be in the least easy to setup for users. This completely supplants that need for my use case. I have been a Forge customer and will be again in the future, so it's great to see the solution to an unrelated problem come from you guys, nice surprise, thanks!
this is a great move. Future OpenForge integration with other cloud stacks and api tiers opens up the competition with Appcelerator Titanium, and Phone Gap Cordova. Well played Trigger.
I don't understand the point you're making here. This post is about trigger.io open sourcing their cross browser extension framework which I think is a separate codebase than their cross-mobile framework. Is there something I am missing here?
Anyone have an idea how this compares to crossrider from a functional point of view? It would be great to use an open source alternative but I'm wondering if there are any pitfalls to using trigger.io's browser-extensions.
crossrider is already detected as a ToolBar.Adware by several anti-virus programs. doesn't help that it's sole goal is to plaster user with ads and cover the licensing fee a developer is supposed to pay up front. We've seen this model in the 90s .
Thank you for this, I asked for a discount last year (as I didn't care about mobile platforms) if I could use Trigger.io's browser add on SDK but eventually the price was too steep. In general the monthly thing doesn't work for developers, some of us have work during the day and there are months where nothing gets done. I hate having to pay monthly for something that shouldn't.
They don't charge for months that you don't make a commit in. But I still found it to be overly expensive (for 10,000-100,000 users it would cost $399/mo or $299/mo if prepaid for a year) if you aren't working for a company that is already taking in a lot of revenue.
