Hi Tony, Those are the lofty goals. However, as I said, I intend to keep Timimi as a simple middleman that will pass the message. If stretched, may be we will send an array of parameters to the script. All these are possibilities., but I ll have you know that currently they exist in my head only and nothing in paper. I am currently distracted by a more interesting personal project. Any way we have to convert the native messaging host to golang first, before all these. We will see.
It goes without saying that I am open to pull requests. Time is rather hot commodity.
