bunn / xgist Goto Github PK

The extension should only ask for keychain access when signing in or if the user has a token stored.
Currently it will ask on the first run since GitHubAPI().isAuthenticated is executed to define what options the extension should display to the user on SourceEditorExtension.swift

Currently, the extension uses the content UTI to set the extension of the file on Gist, it would be better to detect the language based on the actual contents of the snippet.

This is kind of related to #5 : we should add automatic updates to the app. This is kind of problematic because the app is just a container for the Xcode extension, but I think it's doable.

I always use Sparkle on my apps (no need for a package manager, it works fine with just submodules haha). It only requires a XML file with feed of updates and the binary releases, both can be stored on the repo itself.

I'd be cool to show on the README how to install the Extension since Xcode extensions can get tricky. Please take a look on how these guys did it.

Once this is fixed, I'll be able to approve your PR on AwesomeiOS

It's necessary to have a macOS developer account to sign a binary for release. I don't have one 🙃

Xcode save the snippets on this path
~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets

And this is a snippet file format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>IDECodeSnippetCompletionScopes</key>
    <array>
        <string>CodeBlock</string>
    </array>
    <key>IDECodeSnippetContents</key>
    <string>       //CODE GOES HERE
</string>
    <key>IDECodeSnippetIdentifier</key>
    <string>5B59E4B8-2705-48CF-8104-F2EF4C6F7EE4</string>
    <key>IDECodeSnippetLanguage</key>
    <string>Xcode.SourceCodeLanguage.Objective-C</string>
    <key>IDECodeSnippetTitle</key>
    <string>SPIPPET_TITLE</string>
    <key>IDECodeSnippetUserSnippet</key>
    <true/>
    <key>IDECodeSnippetVersion</key>
    <integer>0</integer>
</dict>
</plist>

The app could have a way for the user to select gists from an UI or maybe having some special "tag" on the gists to list as snippets.

Would be good to have an option to sign in on GitHub so the user could choose to save the gists on his/her account instead of always being a anonymous gist.

This will probably require an macOS app for the settings and actual login

It'd be cool to show some sort of UI to the user when the Gist has finished uploading and the URL is available on the clipboard.
