This extension provides temporary placeholder UI on http://anchor.fm to facilitate end-to-end testing of flows leading from anchor.fm into WPCOM.

To Install Extension

• Check out this repository locally.
• Create a file called config.json in the root of the extension folder and set key-value pairs for PODCAST_ID, EPISODE_ID, and SPOTIFY_URL. (A sample is provided in config.sample.json). The config.json file is not monitored by Git, so it will remain consistent if you make further pulls from the extension repository.
  • The SPOTIFY_URL property is optional and can be set to an empty string, or removed, in order to avoid passing it as a parameter to WPCOM.
• In Chrome, navigate to chrome://extensions
• Toggle "Developer Mode" on if it is not already enabled.
• Click "Load Unpacked" and select the container folder of the repository.
• If you need to make changes to the extension, you will have to click the "Refresh" button on the chrome://extensions page before they will be reflected in the browser.

To Use Extension

• Navigate to http://anchor.fm and log into an account that has at least one episode created.
• While on the dashboard, click the extension icon to toggle the "Create a site and transcribe episodes" banner.

• While on an episode page, click the extension icon to toggle the "Convert to blog post" link
