Personal chrome extension. Adds one-click downloading (with FukurouViewer) and live twitch.tv streamers popup

Fukurou Chrome Extension

Fukurou is an extension for the Chrome web browser that was created to learn javascript/html/css and add functionality that was unavailable from other applications.

It not only adds one click downloading of files to custom folders (through the FukurouViewer application) but adds custom download behavior to get optimal formats/files and additionally shows your followed streamers on Twitch.TV that are live.

When used in conjunction with the FukurouViewer Application, you can download to custom saved directories, edit miscellaneous settings that add simplicity to downloading of files on supported websites, and perform reverse searches of images to popular sites.

The settings page allows editing of extension settings, modification of existing favorite folders, and viewing connection status to the FukurouViewer host application (for one-click downloading).

Features

• One-click downloading to custom folders in FukurouViewer application
• Editing/reordering custom folder in browser
• Custom download behavior for sites
  • Tumblr
    • One click download for videos
    • Automatically chooses largest image size
  • Pixiv
• Reverse image searching to popular services
• Live followed twitch streams (ordered and catagorized by game)

Installation

Because this project is still in its infancy, the extension is currently not available in the Chrome Web Store. I am in the process of setting up a GitFlow system to allow me to more easily create functional releases that can be packaged for the Chrome Web Store. When that happens, the installation will be much simpler.

In addition to downloading and installing FukurouViewer, to use the one-click downloading you must:

1.  Download/clone repository
2.  Enable Developer Mode in the Chrome extension settings
3.  Load unpacked extension browsing to the location of the app directory from the repo.
4.  Install the Fukurou
