His dev post with a LOT of detail is linked: http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/latest/blosxom/mozilla/extension/tr...

Any other if one can donate to him?




He doesn’t want to accept donations. See - https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/issues/761


There are two reasons, the first is there. The second reason is my job. I'm employed as a support engineer for company-use of Firefox/Thunderbird for 11-12 years, and the knowledge and trust are based on my addon development experience. So, I think I already monetized from addons and donation looks like a double-dealing for me now. (So after I retired I may accept donation, if Firefox and my addons still alive.) Anyway, I just say thanks to all!

I totally understand and respect that. I bet it leads to better, more focused software rather than 10 mostly-similar projects that all almost do what you want. Kodus to him!


As a long time user of many of his projects (see also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multiple-tab-...), that just made me respect him even more, which I honestly thought wasn't even possible at this point.


I'm guessing it is not in the japanese culture to accept donations?


I love that statement!


Thanks for link... sorry to learn that TST won't have the auto-hide + transparent overlay feature!

Didn't find a donate button, but this is one of his side projects and looks great: http://system-admin-girl.com/


I'm having a hard time figuring what this about. Could you assist?


Just put the site through Google Translate, it's a command-line focused Linux sysadmin course, manga-style!!!


Anyone can translate these?
