Meet Chrome Historian
About two years ago, I began to notice that Better History was becoming a large project in terms of the amount of code. This is never good because it scares away potential contributors.
So I decided to extract the "Chrome Settings" styles and create Chrome-bootstrap. That project now has almost 200 Stars on github.
I'm attempting to performing this extraction operation again with the history querying magic that is the secret sauce of Better History.
Meet the Chrome Historian
Version 3.3.0 of Better History, which will be released in a few days, will be powered by the Historian.
It feels great to get all this code out of Better History proper. The separation makes real sense too because Historian contains all the WebWorkers and Chrome API interfacing code. Those two ideas require a strong API and separating this out into it's own project will naturally lead to that goal.
The specs still need to make the jump, but the dev version of Better History is using this new library at the moment.
Extract and be merry people.
