[Feature Request] sync styles across Chrome instances

[dcormier]

I use stylebot at home and at work. It's kind of annoying to have to manually sync my custom styles. It would be nice if the extension handled this.

One suggestion would be take advantage of the ability to sync extension storage. See here: http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/storage.html#property-sync

Yes, now that Chrome API supports sync, I do plan to support that...

Hello ~ do you have any estimate as to when this will be working?
I found a thing online about syncing Stylish database with dropbox, but I feel StyleBot is a lot better, and syncing would be the best ~ Keep up the awesome work ~ !

Any news on progress ankit? Really hoping this feature is implemented! It would really push stylebot to the next level!

[ogny]

It will be appreciated if you would do it

Please support the sync feature. This is the only extension I'm using needs to sync manually.
I really love this extension.

Still not supported? It is the only extension of all which I use which do not support chrome sync....Pls integrate this feature into this extension....

I will fix add sync capability in the v3 re-write, thank you.

Update - I researched support for sync in extensions and it actually has a stringent quota that won't work for stylebot (https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/storage#property-sync). As a result, this didn't make the v3 release.

However, I do plan to figure out an approach and implement this in a future release, since it would be really useful.

@ankit that would be great, looking forward to see it in the plugin!

Has there been any movement on this? I'd be happy to contribute.

The first iteration on this will be arriving in the next release. It will allow syncing across multiple instances of Chrome/Firefox via Google Drive OAuth (this can later be extended to other services such as github as well).

The other caveat is that it will be manual - you will have to click on "Sync Now" via the popup (it will take quite a bit more work to enable auto-sync by building a server that uses OAuth in offline mode with refresh tokens to auto-generate the access token). Seems to work well even with this limitation.

Merged. will be included in v3.1

What part of that quota is a limiting factor for stylebot? The numbers seemed large enough for my usage, and having the automatic sync would be much more convenient than the manual (button-clicking) method.
