Description

Small tweaks to the Backed Projects page on KickStarter.

This extension tweaks the "Backed Projects" page on KickStarter.

The overhaul the page went through made it much worse than it used to be and a lot harder to tweak... :'(
The awful AJAX script they use not to load more projects asynchronously (which would be awesome), but to load them only when you reach the bottom of the page is especially impractical to work around... And it's not even compatible with the category filtering.

Current features:
- projects loaded with the page (as opposed to through the god-awful AJAX script) are upgraded with a status bar that is fetched from the widget card.

Currently in development:
- work around the AJAX script so that all projects get this improvement and not just the first page.
