AI forcefeeding has conditioned me to instinctively disregard anything with this symbol lol.
Somehow I ended up reading the description anyway. Seems cool, though it immediately greeted me with a bad translation.

I'll admit, me too, but I still like it and don't want to let the big corpos take it from us haha
Have you seen this vid on this very subject? It's really good!
We'll fix the bad translation, can you tell me what it is? Thank you 😊
I feel like it might be too entrenched already. I'll watch the video, haven't seen it.
I was just thinking of how to explain this the best. In Finnish, you can't say "It is this or that (in here)" when talking about weather or anything else. This type of use of the word "it" just doesn't exist in the language.
Edit: Also, language names are not capitalized in Finnish.
RIght, I see. So what would be the right translation? For context, you can see the original strings around the line 13 here: https://github.com/victrme/Bonjourr/blob/master/_locales/fi/translations.json
I think I'd say it like this:
"Lämpötila tällä hetkellä on <temp1>°" / "Temperature at this moment is <temp1>°"
"Lämpötila tällä hetkellä on <temp1>° ja tuntuu kuin <temp2>°" / "Temperature at this moment is <temp1>° and feels like <temp2>°"
It looked machine translated, as no native speaker should make this kind of mistake, but the rest seem a lot better.
I'm not sure about any rules about including C after the degree sign, but local services seem to do that.
Thank you so much, just fixed it, it will be available in the next update.
Yeah, the C isn't in the translation file because Americans can switch it to F in the options, so it can change 🙃
I watched the video. It talked about things I vaguely knew of, and it was interesting to see more context and how they connect together.
I used bonjourr a bit more, here's another line of the weather greeting that really needs improvement:
// - Replaced "highest" with a better fitting synonym, which is generally used for weather
// - The "today" at the end made the sentence flow awkward. Now it says "day's highest" instead, which also a common way to phrase weather forecasts
"with a high of <temp1>° today": "ja päivän ylin lämpötila on <temp1>°",
Think the unit should be included in the temp variables instead?
Thank you again! Does the "tomorrow" variant need to be updated as well?
I ignored it since I haven't seen it in context. Is it at the exact same spot?
Yeah
I just tried it out and it’s really nice!
I’ve been using this with Firefox for a bit. I very much enjoy it. Took me a while to find something I liked for a new tab page since you can search in the URL bar it always felt redundant having a search engine specific page there.
Yeah. We got a search bar feature because some people love it and are very used to it, but I've never really seen the point either. Glad you enjoy the extension 🔥
...start ...page?
about:blank when you open a new tab
Doesn’t Apple already call their zeroconf networking “Bonjour”? Is a single extra “r” going to keep their lawyers away?
Bonjourr's been available on the App Store for years, so they know about us and it doesn't seem to be an issue.
Apart from the fact that they're both software, they don't have much in common. And they can't own the way you say hi in french 😅
They’ll be fine. I don’t think Apple can trademark something as common as “Hello” in French, and it looks like this project is based in France.
It also poses zero threat to Apple, since this doesn’t compete with any of their products or services.
Looking good. I'll check it out, add few bookmarks and see how much I use it.
Nice! Thank you
Very neat, was just looking for this!
Thanks! I didn't knew about it. I just installed it. Love it.
Lovely, thank you! 😊
Please add bookmarks integration. I don't want to maintain my bookmarks in multiple places
We already got you covered! https://bonjourr.fr/docs/overview/#link-import
That looks like 1-way yes? I need 2-way
The doc wasn't very clear about this, thank you for pointing it out. I added a "syncing" part to explain how it works.
Nice! I will give it a go
Does it work on Firefox, or only on Safari?
Available on essentially all browsers where it's possible to change the startpage: https://bonjourr.fr/docs/#available
