Description

Chrome Extension to inject random quotes in your Gmail signature.

Automatically injects your favorite quotes in your outgoing emails, both original composes and replies. Click on the extension icon, located by clicking on the "puzzle" icon in the top right of the browser, to load the quote manager screen.

----

Version 2.0.3 fixes the deprecated DOMNodeInserted event removal by replacing with MutationObserver, which prevented quotes from being injected as of Chrome version 127.0.6533.120.

----

Version 2.0.2 includes a bug fix where a fade-in and fade-out on save feature was causing errors in the JSON panel.

----

This is version 2.0.1 of Random Signature Quotes for Gmail™, which includes the ability to add quotes to the signature for replies, not just initially composed messages. This has been a highly requested feature for many years now. 2.0.1 also includes upgrades to the extension architecture, moving from manifest v2 to v3, Chrome's newer extension platform.

----

Version 1.0.0 contained major improvements to the quote manager, accessible at the top right in the address bar. 1.0.0 made it much easier to add, edit, or remove quotes, without dealing with the complicated JSON markup from the previous version.

For power users, the JSON panel is still available, in case you want to export quotes or re-import a bulk collection of quotes.

----

To help inspire others, and so I could more easily see quotes I enjoyed hearing from famous, successful technology startup founders and other influential people, I wanted something that would put those quotes randomly in my Gmail signature.

Well, there wasn't anything out there that did that, so I created something that did. I specifically wanted to be able to control the quotes myself.

When you install this extension, my hand-picked quotes are selected by default, but you can change them by clicking the page action 'S' icon next to the favorites star in the address bar and editing the quotes.

The quotes are stored as a JavaScript array, so you may want to export them to a nice text editor like Sublime text if you're going to make extensive changes via the JSON editor.

Was JUST what I was looking for so I can publish the unhinged signatures I'm seeing on tiktok (@stephyb__) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MejBt2ttxwob_J2qnErBQ5DbXNZ6pZ_5dsoqChHcxgQ/edit

I've been trying to find a way to insert a random tagline in Gmail forever. I used to use Outlook and I wrote my own VBA script to do it but since I migrated to Gmail my emails have been boring with it. I can't believe I never found this until now! Excellent job on this, much appreciated! EDIT 31-JUL-2024 --- Sometime in the last week or so, it looks some update to Chrome has broken this. I no longer get a quote in my signature. I don't know exactly when it broke. I tried removing and re-installing the extension to no avail. 😭😭 EDIT #2 7-AUG-2024 --- I've logged an issue on your github for this, please let me know how I can help troubleshoot and find the root cause. thanks!

Hello I would have like to use your extension but no quotes are injected in my emails I can, however, access the quotes panel. When I go to to inspect the popup I see those 2 errors: failed to load resource: net::ERR-FILE-NOT-FOUND glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff:1 failed to load resource: net::ERR-FILE-NOT-FOUND glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf:1
