This website used to be published on a different blog engine called Bear. The content here refers to a past configuration or implementation that may not be relevant any longer to the current version of this website.

I wrote a quick Chrome extension1 that makes it easier to navigate when working with bearblog.

Features:

  • Switcher for navigating between multiple bearblogs
  • Quick shortcuts for navigating to some of the most busy pages in the admin (Nav, Posts, Theme, etc.)
  • Auto-loading toolbar on your custom domain - think the WordPress navbar that shows up when you’re authed on your WordPress site, and looking at the frontend

The dev toolbar

The dev toolbar that shows up on both bearblog.dev and your custom domain.

Settings

The settings popup that you can use to set up your sites.

You can find the release here. Grab the ZIP and “Load unpacked” in your Chrome extension settings.

Footnotes

  1. At least, it should have been quick. I tried to get it working on Safari, which was a terrible experience. The bulk of the code was quick to write. ↩
