genius.com is the world’s biggest encyclopedia of music and has some powerful base features. But when it comes to extending that functionallity, you need a lot manpower to keep pushing such a platform forward. That also takes a lot of time.
Community-based development has its benefits and downsides, but instead of putting more and more pressure on the official dev team and waiting for new features to come, I created geniusly because I believe in the power of community-based projects where volunteers can fiddle around and maybe these features become offical some time. And if not, well, you can still use this extension.
geniusly is currently in beta. So feel free to install it as described below and give some feedback.
- Go to the releases list and download the most recent geniusly.crx (if that doesn't work, download the .zip and unzip it)
- Open Google Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/ or click on the right-hand three dots menu (⋮) ▸ More tools … ▸ extensions
- If you hadn't done it yet, enable the developer mode, which is a tick in the top right of the extensions page
- Then load unpacked extension
