spellbook VS plasmo

The article fails to mention existence of graph databases, or graph theory, except for tuple spaces which leads to that direction.

With graph databases you can easily and efficiently model any kind of network, including ones that are hierarchical or almost hierarchical by allowing a node to refer to multiple parent nodes instead of one.

My original idea with my bookmark extension Spellbook was this latter kind of graph, and I implemented a prototype called Grimoire using Ruby on Rails and Neo4j graph database, that worked very well.

The Spellbook currently only allows adding new bookmarks into the hierarchical structure imposed by browser APIs, but features an easy to use search feature to find the right category. Spellbook is available for Chrome and Firefox, but the Firefox version seems broken again by their API changes: https://github.com/peterhil/spellbook

Ooof!! It is an... interesting time right now in extensions land. The switch from MV2 to MV3 is a bit chaotic but hopefully tools like this (Bedframe) and tools like [Plasmo](https://github.com/PlasmoHQ/plasmo) start to inject some freshness in the space.

Shameless plug, but we built the Plasmo Framework to make that (and a lot more) super easy: https://github.com/plasmohq/plasmo

Thanks! We wrote a custom Parcel runtime [1] inspired by Parcel's HMR runtime (which was too bloated and buggy for us) that injects a web socket listener into the development build of the extension.

Whenever a bundle change happens, Parcel sends it the refresh message and it either does `chrome.runtime.reload()` or `location.reload()` depending on the context.
