Presenting: Disciple.Tools Storage Plugin

April 24, 2024

Plugin link: https://disciple.tools/plugins/disciple-tools-storage

This new plugin builds the way for users to be able to securely upload images and files and sets up the API for developers to use.

The first step is connecting Disciple.Tools to your favorite S3 service (see instructions).
Then Disciple.Tools will be able to upload and display images and files.

We’ve started this use case:

  • User avatars. You can upload your own avatar (these aren’t yet displayed in user lists)

We want to see these use cases:

  • Saving Contact and Group pictures
  • Using pictures in the comments section
  • Using voice messages in the comments section
  • and more!

Disciple.Tools Summit Summary

December 8, 2022

In October, we held the first ever Disciple.Tools Summit. It was a great experimental gathering that we intend to repeat in the future. We want to share what happened, what the community thought about it and invite you into the conversation. Sign up to be notified about future events at Disciple.Tools/summit.

We’ve captured all the notes from the key breakout sessions and hope to make them public soon. We used a framework of discussing the current state of a given topic and what is good about it. We then continued into a discussion around what is wrong, missing or confusing. Conversations that led us to several “We must” statements for each topic, which will help lead the community forward.

Starting in 2023, we plan to hold regular community calls to demo new features and use cases.

    chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark
  2. In the dropdown, select one of the Enabled options
  3. Relaunch the browser

There are several variants. No need to click them all, you can see them below!

Default

Enabled

Enabled with simple HSL-based inversion

Enabled with simple CIELAB-based inversion

Enabled with selective image inversion

Enabled with selective inversion of non-image elements

Remember you can always opt-out by setting the dar-mode option back to Default.
