Edit web browser text areas in Helix!

GhostText is a browser extension that lets you edit textarea content in your favorite editor instead of in the browser. This is good if, for example, you like the way your editor highlights and lints your code. Or maybe you like the way your editor spellchecks your markdown. I just like the simplicity of Helix and look for more places to use it, in general.

There are GhostText clients for lots of editors out there, but there wasn't one for Helix. So I made this one. Since Helix doesn't have a plug-in system, scripting, etc., this was a little tricky. And the result is more basic than some of the other, more complex editor plug-ins for GhostText. This tracks with how Helix's simplicity demands that you think simpler, which is the main thing I like about it. Because this client was designed to be simple, it should work equally well with other editors (vim, nano, micro, whatever).

Consent-O-Matic is a browser extension that recognizes CMP (Consent Management Provider) pop-ups that have become ubiquitous on the web and automatically fills them out based on your preferences – even if you meet a dark pattern design. Sometimes a website might not use standard categories, and in that case, Consent-O-Matic will always try to submit the most privacy preserving settings.
