Beta 0.1.0 · not in the stores yet
Promptory works, and it is in review at the Chrome Web Store and Mozilla Add-ons. Until those come back, installing takes about a minute and a couple of clicks you would not normally make.
Chrome loads a folder, not a zip. Double-click the file and keep the folder it produces somewhere permanent — Chrome reads it from that location every time it starts, so if you delete it or move it to the bin, Promptory stops working.
Paste chrome://extensions into the address bar. It cannot be opened from a link, which is why it is not one here.
The switch is in the top right. It is what makes the next button appear.
Click Load unpacked, then choose the folder you unzipped. Pick the folder itself, not the files inside it.
Click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar and pin Promptory, so the icon stays visible.
Firefox refuses add-ons it has not signed, and the only way around that is a temporary install, which is cleared every time Firefox closes. You would have to repeat these steps each session.
Your prompts are not lost when it goes — they stay in the browser and come back when you load it again. But if that sounds like too much, Chrome is the better beta today, and the Firefox listing will fix this properly.
Firefox menu → Help → About Firefox. Promptory needs 142 or newer; older versions will refuse to load it.
Paste about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox into the address bar.
Click Load Temporary Add-on… and choose the zip you downloaded. If the picker will not accept the zip, unzip it first and choose the manifest.json inside.
It behaves exactly like the Chrome version. When you next start Firefox it will be gone, and steps 2 and 3 bring it back.
Select any text on a page, right-click, and choose Save to Promptory. The toolbar icon flashes a tick.
Right-click inside any text box and pick a prompt from the Insert menu. Your folders are the menu.
Settings → Sign in. Signed out it never talks to a server; signed in your library follows you between browsers.
