The extension has been submitted to the Firefox webstore and for the first time to the Chrome webstore. The extension will be listed soon on both stores.
This is a firefox and chrome extension that will help people with dyslexia.
Prebuild files can be found in ./build/ folder or the releases part of the Github page altough this is not the recommended way, since they are also hosted in the official marketplace of your browser's extension shop.

$ git clone https://github.com/SamClercky/Dyxitool.git
This project is build with gulp. I use node v10.15.2 and npm v6.10.3. Normaly the version numbers should not matter a lot, but if it doesn't work, these were my configurations.
$ npm install
$ npx tsc
Now choose which part you want to build because each build command will firstly clean the ./dist/ folder.
$ npx gulp firefox
$ cd dist
$ npx web-ext build
$ mv web-ext-artifacts/dyxitool-1.1.zip web-ext-artifacts/dyxitool-1.1.xpi
After this you will find a ready to use (unsigned) build in ./dist/web-ext-artifacts/
$ npx gulp chrome
Now go to your chrome browser and go to chrome://extensions/.
Make sure you enable Dev-mode before you can Package extension. Fill in the path to the ./dist/ folder. (you can leave the private-key part open). The final buildfile will be found in the root directory of this project.
This code is licensed under GPLv2. Everything except the ./fonts/ folder and the ./lib/ folder. These contain code from other libraries or projects and have their own license.
To make it easier to bulid the project exact as I did, the used libraries are wget'ed into a local ./lib/ folder. Since some webbrowser markets still want a link to the original files, here is a list.
- JQuery: 3.4.1
- Webextension-polyfill: 0.4.0
- Spectrum: 1.8.0
- OpenDyslexic: At time of writing, site is down
The files in the ./lib/ folder are wget'ed from following url's
- JQuery: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jquery/jquery/3.4.1/dist/jquery.min.js
- Spectrum:
- Webextension-polyfill: https://unpkg.com/webextension-polyfill@0.4.0/dist/browser-polyfill.min.js
