A Manifest V3 extension that sniffs downloadable video / audio URLs
across every site the user visits and hands captured sources to a
MediaGo server in one click. Ships unlisted (load-unpacked .zip), no
Chrome Web Store.
Dispatch modes (user-picked in options, no silent fallback):
- desktop-schema: navigates the current tab to
`mediago-community://index.html/?n=1&silent=1&url=…` using the
cat-catch `chrome.tabs.update` pattern. Reuses the existing
`useUrlInvoke` hook in apps/ui — no new deeplink plumbing.
- desktop-http: POST http://127.0.0.1:9900/api/downloads against the
Go Core bundled in a running Desktop.
- docker-http: same POST against a user-configured host, with an
optional X-API-Key header for `--enable-auth` deployments.
UI is React 19 + Tailwind v4 + shadcn/ui (new-york, neutral), matched
to apps/ui's stack. Popup shows per-tab sources with a red badge count;
options page has a 3-mode radio + per-mode field panel.
Supporting changes:
- Abstract sniff filter rules into @mediago/shared-common/sniff and
point the Electron sniffing helper at the same exports so desktop
and extension stay in lock-step.
- Tighten the YouTube host rule to actual video / short / live / embed
URLs (drops the homepage and feed false-positives).
- Fix the macOS electron-builder config: CFBundleURLSchemes was
hard-coded to a test string "mediagoaaa" — now sourced from
process.env.APP_NAME (mediago-community in .env) like everywhere
else. Also add a top-level `protocols` entry for clarity.
- Vite build pulls APP_NAME from the repo root .env via loadEnv() +
`define`, so the scheme name stays single-sourced.
- Root scripts: `pnpm dev:extension`, `pnpm build:extension`,
`pnpm pack:extension` (+ scripts/pack-extension.ts that cross-
platform-zips dist/ into release/).
