Overview

[Status: DRAFT]

We want to provide a developer tool that allows add-on developers to easily create add-ons. While it is ovious what the first steps for this product should be, we want to implement and ship something a minimal set of features as quickly as possible so we can get feedback from the community and iterate on the design. Given this, the best initial approach is to implement this tool as an add-on.

Minimum Viable Product

A possible intial featue set:

  • separate window UI? or inject into the devtools window?
  • xpi packaging, using cfx js as the back-end
  • test framework support
  • debugging support
  • command-line interface
  • rudimentary project support
