stellar-photos's Issues

Add support for custom collections

In addition to (or instead of) the default Stellar Photos collection on Unsplash, users can add multiple collections from which random photos can be loaded from.

Photos not updating, getting error when changing sets

Several days ago photos stopped rotating. When trying to change sets that are in use, or switch to defult photo set I get an excetion "TypeError: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource." as a red popup within settings for plugin.

The rest of browser works, stellar photos is the only part of browser that stopped working.

How can I debug further?

My env:
FF 96.0.2
macOS 12.1

Remove Crying Man Picure

Maybe just personal taste, but I use that extension to lighten my workload with the nice pictures. And the criyng man, as well made as that photo is is depressing. Not sure if it is fitting for the collection. https://imgur.com/a/7ytFg

Noticeable lag before photo is loaded into new tab page

My internet is not very fast. So when I open a new tab the background is completely black for a while before the pic loads. Mostly I know where I want to go when I open a new tab, so I just see the black before I go to my next destination.

It would be nice if when I open a new tab it would download the next picture to show me, that is the one that will be used the next time I open a new tab. That way the picture could load instantly when I open a new tab, and not wait to download. Just download the next pic in the background :)

Settings Button is Missing

Hey there!
I just realized that the options/settings button isn't visible on my install. Is this currently removed/disabled?

Browser:
Firefox 100.0.1

Operating System:
Windows 10 (21H2, build 19044.1645)

new tab shows the same image, cannot change collection in settings

this comes from macbook pro on Mojave
the collection that is currently set is 998309
if i try to change to 935527 (this is Yosemite collection) it pops up a red box saying "Failed to save collections. Please check that the collection exist"
this happens with other collections as well

Weather does not strictly update after one hour

Expected behaviour: Weather should update after one hour regardless of the last time a blank new tab was opened

Actual behaviour: Weather updates depend on the last time a blank new tab was opened

Disable GA tracking

Hi,

Your privacy policy states that

Stellar Photos does not aggregate any user information.

But the new 2.0 update includes the GA script and is collecting usage data.

Please remove that feature or make it clear in the privacy policy what's being tracked.

Fade in/out the buttons and bars

Loving this! Thanks!

Only thing is that I find the buttons in the corner and bar at the bottom distracting from the overall very nice and clean look. I'd love it if these where hidden by default and faded in when moving the mouse closer to them, like in Art up your tab. :)

Freezing Tabs in FF58

Whenever I open a new tab it starts to freeze after a couple of seconds until a warning pops up.

Show more information about the background image

Currently, only Image resolution, date created and number of likes are shown.

Some other data that can be displayed are:

  • Camera Model and Make
  • Exposure
  • ISO
  • Focal Length
  • Aperture
  • Downloads
  • Shutter Speed
  • Number of Views

image

Add info on which collection image is coming from

Issue

It is not always clear which collection picture is coming from, and why the given image is displayed at all.

User need

User need a short explanation on why given image is displayed, and typical reason would be - since it is a part of collection "12345".

Proposed solution

  • We need an info on which collection image is coming from
  • Information can be placed in "Photo info" page.
  • That would be nice with a link to collection as well.

Sync collections, preferences across devices

Currently, only coordinates are being synced. Need to sync all preferences and collections as well.

Will involve transitioning from localStorage to Storage.sync and Storage.local

Address bar text is cleared when extension loads on Firefox

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of stellar photos with Firefox 80.0b8 (64-bit) on macOS 10.15.4, and I'm seeing this behavior now, which wasn't there before:

  1. I open a new tab
  2. I quickly start typing (Address bar is automatically focused when opening a new tab)
  3. When stellar photos loads, the text I had already written into the address bar is deleted

I can trigger this behavior almost every time, but sometimes the extension loads really fast and it's not visible. I have a 2017 MBP 15, so performance should not be an issue.
