Development

Environment Variables

• PLASMO_PUBLIC_BSKY_DOMAIN: The Bluesky domain to use (default: "bsky.social")

Building for Custom PDS Servers

If you want to use this extension with a custom PDS (Personal Data Server) instead of the default bsky.social, you have two options:

Option 1: Using .env file

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/kawamataryo/sky-follower-bridge.git
cd sky-follower-bridge

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root directory:

echo "PLASMO_PUBLIC_BSKY_DOMAIN=bsky.social" > .env

4. Build the extension:

# For Chrome
npm run build
npm run package

# For Firefox
npm run build:firefox
npm run package:firefox

Option 2: Using environment variable directly

You can also pass the domain directly during build:

# For Chrome
PLASMO_PUBLIC_BSKY_DOMAIN=your-custom-domain.com npm run build
PLASMO_PUBLIC_BSKY_DOMAIN=your-custom-domain.com npm run package

# For Firefox
PLASMO_PUBLIC_BSKY_DOMAIN=your-custom-domain.com npm run build:firefox
PLASMO_PUBLIC_BSKY_DOMAIN=your-custom-domain.com npm run package:firefox

Loading the Built Extension

After building, you can load the extension:

For Chrome/Edge:

1. Go to chrome://extensions/ (or edge://extensions/)
2. Enable "Developer mode" in the top right
3. Click "Load unpacked"
4. Select the build/chrome-mv3-prod directory

For Firefox:

1. Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
2. Click "Load Temporary Add-on"
3. Select the zip file from the build directory

Notes

• The built extension will be in the build directory
• When using a custom PDS, users will need to use handles in the format username.your-custom-domain.com
• Make sure your custom PDS server is compatible with the AT Protocol
