After months of work, I'm Proud to finally release my SideWinder Sidebar Extension to the public! What is SideWinder? SideWinder is a sleek, customizable, and toggleable Sidebar that aims to keep you on Torn! No longer do you have to swap tabs/windows or bring out your phone to set a timer, save a link, or do a quick calculation! Sidewinder adds all this and more...for free! Organize your links, track loans and auctions, manage to-do lists, access useful tools, and tons more - all without leaving the game!

🤔 Frequently Asked Questions:
❓ Is SideWinder safe to use? Will I get banned? Absolutely safe! For one, Theres nothing in here that could get you banned. Its all user sided! SideWinder is also staff approved and is ofc built to fully comply with Torn's rules. Plus it's open-source so you can verify there's no malicious code.
🔒 What data does it collect from me? Zero data collection! Everything is stored locally in your browser. SideWinder never sends any information to external servers, So don't worry, Ol Doobie wont spy on you!
⚡ Will this slow down Torn City? Nope! SideWinder is optimized for performance with minimal impact on page load times and memory usage.
📱 Does it work on mobile/PDA? Yep! Both Mobile Browser and PDA!
💰 Is it really completely free? Yes! No premium features, no subscriptions, no ads, no catches. Free forever. I do accept donations however! XD
🔧 What if it conflicts with my other scripts/extensions? SideWinder is designed to play nice with other tools. If you encounter conflicts, let me know and I'll fix them!
💾 What happens if I lose my data? SideWinder has built-in backup systems and export/import functionality. You can also manually backup your data anytime through the settings and save/upload your settings in .json format!
🔄 Will you keep updating it? Absolutely! I'm actively developing new features and fixing any issues.
🆚 How is this different from other sidebar extensions? For one, I haven't seen any other sidebar tools but SideWinder offers way more features (loan tracking, auction monitoring, drag&drop, etc.) and is fully open-source and staff approved, Now thats hard to beat!
❓ I'm having issues installing/using it. Where can I get help? Mail me in-game (Doobiesuckin [3255641]), Comment on this post, or find me on the Community Crafters Discord!
🎨 Can I customize how it looks? Yep, Extensively! Custom colors, themes, drag&drop positioning, resizable elements, and multiple layout pages.
🔄 Will my settings sync across devices? Currently settings are stored locally per browser so no, Your settings and layout will not save from device to device, However you can backup and save a .json file of your settings and send it to as many devices as you wish and then upload it on that device. Its a bit of a hassle but overall pretty simple and easy! Share with your whole faction! Idc
🔧Whats up with the Taglines at the bottom? Idk I found them funny, If you have any more you think would be cool to add, let me know. They are all stupid quips or references, I cant think of any that would, but if any of these distress, Offend, or annoy you I'm sorry, that was not the intention but as of rn I dont plan to change anything, So deal with it! XD
❓What Do you mean by "Smart Resizing" in your sidebar? It seems weird! We'll it kinda is... The way it works as of right now is it takes your 2 biggest sized groups and uses the size of them to resize your sidebar automatically. Its kinda janky and Id like to improve on it but it works well enough and helps with mobile.

SideWinder is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, ensuring it remains free and open-source forever, I would appreciate any changes or additions to this script/extension be verified through me first. You can see the full license on our Github!
SideWinder also uses Unicode Emojis which is free to use and everything but I just wanted to say here that I ofc don't own that and is purely here for Quality of Life. You can read more about that here- https://www.unicode.org/copyright.html
AI Use disclaimer, Claude was used in the coding of this extension. AI did NOT build this script, However it did help me in terms of bug fixes and syntax errors on my side. It is used sparingly, I want to preface in saying that this script was mostly made as a personal project and a learning experience for myself, with that, I prioritized building from the ground up and AI use was only used during frustrating or time saving moments. Plus anyone whos attempted to code with AI knows its impossible to make a script/extension this long and complex with just AI on its own XD, but I did just want to throw this in here to keep everything transparent
