Is it possible to run lss within a web page?
andyburnett opened this issue · comments
I have just stumbled across this project, and I think it is great. What I would really like to do is to have a version of lss as a chrome extension which I can inject into any web page. This would then allow me to scrape the page, or do whatever I want, but in Smalltalk. Is this possible, or does the design fundamentally require Node running?
@andyburnett you may consider looking at amber smalltalk ( http://amber-lang.net/ ). I've seen them embed it into a webpage. This may require some Chrome Developer Tools expertise.
@andyburnett have you seen https://bertfreudenberg.github.io/SqueakJS/ ?
Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at Bert's work a while ago. It is
amazingly impressive!
I didn't follow up on it, last year, because it still seemed too
experimental. However, I have just looked at it again, and it has made big
progress. I can see how I might be able to use it the way I want.
Basically, I would like inject it into any webpage, so that I could do data
manipulation via smalltalk.
Time for some experiments.
Cheers
Andy

@andyburnett Craig have done it, look http://blackpagedigital.com
Maybe you can have a call with him to know more or get into the SqueakJS channel in Slack
Hi guys. I'm sorry for a terribly late reply. I haven't been checking into github for a past couple of years. I think it's a good idea to have lss as browser extensions. Feel free to fork, publish and send PR!
