+1, I'm very sad. Can I help somehow?

[ankit]

Hello everyone. Yes, this is a known issue and I am planning to bring stylebot.me back up soon. Unfortunately, I have very little time after my day job but I do plan to bring the site back up.

In the meantime, I'm using wayback to learn about patterns: https://web.archive.org/web/20160304162602/http://stylebot.me/patterns

In my opinion, the project has died. No support, updates or improvements. Maybe it makes sense to create a new project based on this?

[seanfuture]

@ankit is the website open source? I'd consider allowing the community to assist

[Phrogz]

I'd really love to extract the styles that I've added. Is there a copy of the database available that we could download and search manually?

[ManOrMonster]

You can search archive.org and find your profile page from last year to find your styles you've uploaded.

Sadly, archive.org does not appear to have my profile page cached.

[ManOrMonster]

Is your profile name phrogz on stylebot?

[Phrogz]

@ManOrMonster Yup. Googling "stylebot" "phrogz" the first two hits (particularly style #3444) is what I'm looking for.

[ManOrMonster]

@Phrogz Looks like you may be out of luck. Unfortunately, my latest archive was from 2015, so the only one I needed to recover was out-of-date anyway.

@ankit , I know you're busy and this probably isn't the most financially successful adventure with limited financial incentive. But I would love it if you (or I or community) got the webpage back up and running. I would also love to port this extension to Firefox. I prefer this extension to Stylish because I can actually use the hand picker and select elements. Anyway, thank you for your contribution to this! This extension has completely changed my power browsing experience.

[ryhavens]

I'd love to help with whatever you need to get this up and running again. I know this is open source and I could easily make a clone, but considering the size of the community it'd be great to get it started again from its roots. This tool is exactly what I need and it'd be great if I could share styles easily.

[liloli]

I love this one, could not find another one like this. It'll be great if you guys can bring it back alive.

[killgo]

Man
WE ARE ALL WAITING!
I hope everything is good for you!

[FOSSFOREVER]

Can we please get this project back on its feet again? I love this extension and would love to be able to have the website back that shared user submitted styles. It was cool to visit a website and see if a style has been made for it by someone.

[killgo]

At least author please make it open source so we could do it by ourselves!))) Thanks!

[ManOrMonster]

I would recommend switching to Stylish. This project seems to be dead.

[killgo]

@ManOrMonster thanks!

[dunnojo]

Please don't use Stylish unless you want to get tracked.
Here's a quote from the Stylish wikipedia article.

As of 2017, it is owned by SimilarWeb, a market intelligence company that tracks at least 8 million users through browser extensions and other tools.

I'd recommend the Stylus extension which is a fork of Stylish but without the user tracking.
Stylus also supports userstyles from userstyles.org

[ManOrMonster]

@dunnojo Interesting, thanks!

[ankit]

i am re-writing the extension to v3 and will follow up with a new website.
