fiatjaf / kwh Goto Github PK

I'm using kwh with firefox 66.0.2 on NixOS with an autossh ssh tunnel to my spark wallet server. That means that the connection might be interrupted at times, but it'll be restored eventually.

When I start a fresh firefox instance lightning:<bolt11> links, ´webln´ calls and pasting invoices works. But after some time (so far always with a connection interruption due to sleep in between) these features stop working. I can still list my transactions and generate invoices.

I attached two screenshots: one trying to pay a pasted invoice (blank area) and one after clicking a lightning: link and opening the menu to confirm the payment.

Thank you for building this great plugin, I was waiting for Joule c-lightning support for some time, this is a good alternative.

This extension layout and classes was done in 5 minutes by a pragmatic programmer using only Tachyons classes.

If anyone out there knows how to build a simple and yet beautiful interface using the fewer elements possible that help would be very welcomed.

Marginal improvements would be great. For example, just modifying the layout a little or changing the default colors.

Firefox webextensions framework has an issue with tabs that are detached from the main window. I know there shouldn't be the concept of a "main window" and that each tab is its own process, but for some reason there is.

What happens is that when the background script tries to query or send a message to a detached tab it fails.

I can replicate the bug many times but don't know how to fix it.

Currently if one clicks an invoice link there is the following workflow to confirm the payment:

1. click away (or wait for it to go away) the notification which is blocking the extension's button
2. open kwh
3. confirm payment

I think that's more interaction than necessary, for example one could get from 3 to 1 clicks using these two approaches:

1. add a button to the notification (seems possible according to the API docs, but I have no practical experience with JS/plugins)
2. remove the notification and open the kwh menu instead (I don't know if that's actually possible)
