A first attempt to build a Tana extension mechanism as a Chrome extension.

This first cut uses shift-cmd-K (Mac) or shift-ctrl-K (Win/Linux) to pop up a little "command prompt" in the middle of your current browser tab content. If you're using Tana in the standalone PWA mode, it works the same way.

You can then type a few characters to pick the command to run and hit enter.

Commands typically take the context of the clipboard as input. They all produce output and place it on the clipboard. From there, you can paste it into Tana.

The output is minimally formatted as tana-paste format, with the specifics being up to each individual command.

Here's a short video showing one use-case - invoking ChatGPT to process the nodes copied to the clipboard as a completion prompt. (the OpenAI API key shown here has been deleted, yes. 😉)

You'll need to download the latest release.zip and then use the Developer mode in Chrome to add this extension as a Load Unpacked. Go to chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode. I'll get around to pushing this to the Chrome Extension Store when it's good and ready.

Configuration of each command is available via the extension pop-up UI. Just click the extension icon in the Chrome or Tana toolbar to access.

Looking for feedback, suggestions, pull requests and ideas for further commands, please!

Checkout the source and use yarn install then yarn build. The extension will be in dist/

You can also yarn build watch to make it easier as you hack on the code. Just remember to update the extension via the Chrome extensions panel each time you do.
