SixGrid

A Desktop Application for browsing e926-based websites without the hassle of installing browser extensions or uncomfortable Web Interfaces, and you won't be embarrassed by your browsers autofill making thing awkward when someone is around!

Take a peek at our Trello Page to see what the developers are currently working on. If there are any problems with your experience with the SixGrid App, feel free to create a Issue and to suggest a change to the codebase, or documentation, then you can create a Pull Request.

You can download the latest release here. Currently, Releases are only available on Steam which is free restricted to an invite-only beta. To request access to the SixGrid Steam Beta, join Kate's Discord Server and ping kate in the sixgrid-support channel

Contributing

Switch over to the dev branch if you have not. By contributing we (The Contributors) assume that you have followed the steps in the Building and Developing section, this includes having installed node.js (LTS 16.x), npm, and the modules required to run SixGrid. We also assume that you know your way around the e926 API.

git fetch
git pull
git checkout dev

Once you have switched to the development branch you can now start programming, but before pushing any commits (or in some cases, even committing) test your changes. No pull requests will be merged if your code does not meet our programming standards.

You can test your code by actually doing what it does and keeping an eye on the Chrome Inspector Console.

npm run dev
