Chromesoul is a NetSoul client for Google Chrome. If you don't know what NetSoul is, you probably don't need it. If you're neither a student nor an employee of any IONIS school (eg: Epitech, Epita, …), all you have to know is that NetSoul is an internal messaging protocol for thoses schools.
When you're on the PIE, you're stuck in it unless you are connected to netsoul. With multiple operating systems it's a real pain to configure a NetSoul client for each of them. That's why chromesoul is awesome: not only it's a cross-platform NS client, but the Chrome synchronisation automaticaly install and configure it everywhere you uses chrome.
Chrome or Chromium 25.
At first, chromesoul's was only intended to provide an access to internet from the PIE and didn't supported messages. However, I changed my mind and decided to include this feature. Don't panic if you don't want to be disturbed, it's possible to turn it off. All you have to do is to go in your settings and uncheck the little box.
If you uses a version of Chrome which doesn't support rich notifications, you may experience some bugs with avatars.
It's on it's way.
A status indicator is available next to the contact's avatar.
Maybe later.
Go to the Chromesoul's Chrome Web Store page and click the "Add to Chrome" button.
Just like any other app:
- open a new tab (Ctrl + T)
- if necessary, click on the "apps" tab (have a look at the bottom of the page)
- click on "chromesoul"
Being a very sensitive data, the password isn't shared: that's the only thing you'll have to set yourself along all your chrome installations.
By default, no. That's why you are strongly encouraged to configure Chrome to encrypt all your synced data. Please note that it's true for every single application you uses.
First, you have to know there's 3 different Chrome add-ons types:
- extensions
- hosted apps
- packaged apps
Chromesoul is a packaged app. The bad news is that packaged app arrived recently on the store and are not searchable yet. The good news is that Google announced that packaged app are now available in the Chrome Web Store for anyone on Chrome's developer channel. It should be a matters of weeks/month before everyone could search for Chromesoul on the web store.
You should use the version from the Chrome Web Store, however, if you really wish to install the git version:
- Download it (aka: clone the git repository)
- Use the developer mode
- Click on "Load unpackaged extension..." and select the chromesoul directory
Please report it with as much details as you can. Thanks in advance.
It's your opinion and I don't care about it.
I'm happy you like it :-)
