In a few days -  hopefully -  I’ll be inviting people willing to do that to alpha-drive XKit 7. Until then, I want to share to you some of the things you can expect from XKit 7.

Simplified User Interface

The XKit 7 control panel looks like “the baby of XKit 6 and XKit Next”: it has the extension gallery, advanced settings, etc, but at the same time, it is so easy to find and change extension settings. Which brings us to..

Fewer Extensions, More Features

Since on XKit 7, it is so easy to toggle features (and easy for me to implement those toggles), there will be less extensions with more features. Even now, “No More New Posts”, “NoWontFollow” and a bunch of extensions have been merged into one: “Tweaks.” Likewise, to keep the tags while reblogging something, you don’t need to download a new extension: just toggle the setting on One-Click Postage.

Brand New Backend

XKit 7 is more like XKit Next, backend-wise, with a constant user interface and the latest web technologies. Around 80% of the code has been re-written from the ground up, and the rest comes from XKit Next.

XKit Talks English

No more cryptic error messages: XKit now (most of the time, okay) tells you what to do: if it can’t update itself, it lets you know so you can reset it, if there is a problem with an extension, it asks you to re-install it.

A few surprises.

I don’t like talking about things that aren’t finished and out there yet so.. let’s just say that if the experiment I’m running right now works properly, you might not need to go to people’s asks in the future, provided that they use XKit. sshh. no promises. (and hopefully, no need to pay 99 cents.)

Thanks for your patience.
