Clacks Overhead - GNU Terry Pratchett Extension
This extension is a tribute to the late Terry Pratchett (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Pratchett). It displays an icon when the user visits a website sending a \"Clacks Overhead\" message. If the user clicks on the icon, it will display the message and animated clacks semaphore code.
More information can be found here: http://www.gnuterrypratchett.com/
Notes:
1. This extension does not collect any data or send any information anywhere.
2. All code is open source on Github: https://github.com/newfolder0/chrome-clacks
Contributors:
- Peter Bell (original author)
- Charlie Wheeler-Robinson (bug hunting, refactoring, improving in early versions)
- Jimmy Nyström (code)
- Melanie Wilberforce (icons)
- Rob Grundy (who made the Firefox extension) for sending me the clacks icons used in the animation
- Backspindle Games for producing the clacks icons in the animation
- Sap1ens, jwakely, and Amy Atha-Nicholls (generously offering new icons)
- yousuf811 on Github (squashing bugs)
- Jarek Glowacki for some CSS help
- Jake Heimark (hmk on GitHub) for fixing the manifest and keeping this extension alive in 2024
