Thunderbird 78 support

[alfajulietsierra]

Hello, I love the addon, but currently is not compatible with thunderbird 78. Do you consider the new version supporting the 78?

Unfortunately the developer seems disappeared !!!
That's really a pity ! The add-on is something I would pay for!

Regards,
S.

[alfajulietsierra]

I would pay for it too…

[alfajulietsierra]

Actually, we can donate the dev here:

Yes, we can donate but the developer disappeared.
If I "donate" 50 bucks could I have the plugin compiled for the latest version of Thunderbird ?

Regards,
S.

A community fork might be needed here, I'm sorely missing the tool in Thunderbird. Unfortunately I know nothing about Thunderbird add-on development, or JS.

I someone makes a fork that ports the existing Thunderbird add-on to the new Thunderbird framework, you've got a hundred bucks from me.

Someone did make an updated fork, but, he hasn't commented on our last request to support for v78. He may be our Obi-Wan, our only hope.

@alfajulietsierra, @foxpluto, @Wheest, if you are really willing to pay for this feature, pay attention to services as IssueHunt and BountySource.

Thanks.

Good shout, hadn't encountered these services before. From some poking around, it seems I can't put up any cash unless a repo owner enables it.

Sorry, no. The fork was simply a place to collect and make available the patches that had been posted to issues in the upstream project. I wasn't planning to do any development myself.

Well, if a critical mass of donors started contributing to Adam, I think that he could be motivated enough to update and maintain the plugin. After all the Markdown Here website is still up and running two years after the last update, so I think not all hope is lost. From Adam's About page:

Markdown Here is free to users, but it costs me a lot of time (hundreds of hours, so far) and effort to maintain it and make it better. If you love Markdown Here (or when you grow to love it), you can let me know with a donation.

Start donating, people!

Hi,
maybe some of us can look into code and try to figure what can cause problem with incompatibility.
I fixed error in TB (change values in manifest.json) which allow me right now to look into options, but nowhere text transforming is working.

I reached out to adamp, using the e-mail address on his website, asking what his thoughts were on the future of MDH, where there was anything the community could do to help, or whether he's simply moved on, but I got no response. His last activity on GitHub was in July.

I had reached out to adamp as well, and have not heard back. I've since made a fork and added Thunderbird 78 support there. PR #647.
https://github.com/jfx2006/markdown-here/releases/tag/v2.13.4_mailext if anyone wants to try it. I've been using it in various forms for the past couple of days.
