IntroductionThis Firefox Extension displays the TickTick within the Firefox sidebar. It adds a new section to the sidebar which contains the TickTick web app. It also provides a shortcut, and toggle button.
How to UseToggle the sidebar by pressing
Alt+Shift+K.
This shortcut can be changed by going to Add-ons -> TickTick in Sidebar -> Options. If you prefer buttons over shortcuts, there is a toolbar button you can press to toggle the sidebar.
How to Unlock Firefox Sidebar WidthThe sidebar's width is
locked by default in Firefox. Unfortunately, the sidebar is very restricted and I can only do so much to enhance the functionality of this extension. I put together a step-by-step guide on how to unlock the sidebar width on my
website.

DisclaimerThis extension is an independent project, has no relationship, and is not affiliated to TickTick in any way. This extension is primarily for personal use; a personal project if you will. This add-on
only launches their web app in the sidebar.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to review my add-on.
From the Add-ons Policy Changes 2021 Q&A found at: <https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/add-ons-policy-changes-2021-q-a/89654>.
1. "This rule is mainly to avoid add-ons are, for lack of a better term, spam: that is, add-ons of no meaningful utility or functionality that appear to be using addons.mozilla.org purely as a marketing channel for their target site."
My comment: My add-on is not spam. It has meaningful utility (let's you open the to-do list on the sidebar) that the official add-ons does not provide. The add-on does not use AMO purely as a marketing channel.
2. "Utility redirects, such as switching between two versions of a site, switching to archive.org, etc also do not fall into this category. The purpose here is not to advertise the website, but to provide the user with a way to obtain additional information or enhance the user experience."
My comment: The purpose for my add-on is not to advertise the website, but to provide the user with a way to obtain additional information or enhance the user experience. I provide the ability to browse, navigate, research while you to-do app is open and readily available on the sidebar.
3. "An add-on that promotes a service by opening the page and encouraging the user to sign up, but does not actually provide functionality to enhance the browser in combination with this service, is not permitted."
My comment: My add-on does not promote a service. I'm an independent developer coding open-source apps.
Please reconsider the review for version 1.0.1.
Thank you.
