Code Medium Firefox

Code Medium

By: Maluen
Extends the Medium writer interface to quickly create and edit Github Gists, without having to leave the editor. Adds a button in the text toolbar for creating a new Gist and adding it to the post. Double click on an existing Gist to edit it.

Features & Capabilities

Features

  • Adds a button in the text toolbar for creating a new Gist and adding it to the post.
  • Gists can be created as either public or secret (unlisted).
  • Double click on an existing Gist to edit or delete it.
  • Deleting a gist will remove both the embed from the post and the gist from your account. To only remove the embed, just click on it and press the delete key as usual.
  • Syntax highlighting for the most popular programming languages thanks to react-ace!
  • Fixes the height of the Gists in the editor, to display them without being cut and without the extra padding (https://github.com/Maluen/code-medium/issues/3).

Authorizing the application

This extension uses the GitHub Gist API to create and edit gists, this means that you'll have to authorize the OAuth application for the "gist" permission.

Once the extension is installed, toggle the extension modal by clicking the toolbar button or by double clicking on an existing gist to show the login button.

Known Limitations

Gists composed of multiple files aren't fully supported:

  • Currently, only single-file gists can be created.
  • When double clicking on an existing multi-file gist, only the first file will show up in the modal. However, you can still edit that file normally and delete the whole gist.

This is fantastic! I used it for several of my coding articles here - https://janac.medium.com/software-development-interview-questions-ce2c6e94381d I have no idea why the other person left a 1-star review on this. Definitely easier to use than the "copy-to-gist" add-on!

Is Code Medium Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Code Medium requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

  • High ******* ******* **** *** ****** ***** *** ***** ** ******* **** ********* ********* ** * *********** *****
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Code Medium has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
