Chrome Extension to inject random quotes in your Gmail signature.

This is version 2.0.1 of Random Signature Quotes for Gmail™, which includes the ability to add quotes to the signature for replies, not just initially composed messages. This has been a highly requested feature for many years now. 2.0.1 also includes upgrades to the extension architecture, moving from manifest v2 to v3, Chrome's newer extension platform.

Version 1.0.0 contained major improvements to the quote manager, accessible at the top right in the address bar. 1.0.0 made it much easier to add, edit, or remove quotes, without dealing with the complicated JSON markup from the previous version.

For power users, the JSON panel is still available, in case you want to export quotes or re-import a bulk collection of quotes.

To help inspire others, and so I could more easily see quotes I enjoyed hearing from famous, successful technology startup founders and other influential people, I wanted something that would put those quotes randomly in my Gmail signature.

Well, there wasn't anything out there that did that, so I created something that did. I specifically wanted to be able to control the quotes myself.

When you install this extension, my hand-picked quotes are selected by default, but you can change them by clicking the page action 'S' icon next to the favorites star in the address bar and editing the quotes.

The quotes are stored as a JavaScript array, so you may want to export them to a nice text editor like Sublime text if you're going to make extensive changes via the JSON editor.

Took a bit of fiddling, but got it working in the end! Be sure to restart Chrome and log out of your email account, it won't work until then.

Works just as it says, no issues. Yes, it took a little while to add my quotes and verses, etc. but it was worth it.

I may be a little slow on this but I use the Pop out on replies and get no quote. Could someone provide the steps they use to get the replies to work?

Thanks for the extension and thanks for the tip.

Works as advertised. It was straightforward converting my Quotes.txt file into JSON (albeit I was challenged by some embedded tab characters, but I found & removed those) and then I pasted it in & the extension does the job. Recommended.

It will be nice when it supports replies, but it already has value for me with its existing functionality.

And here's an easy workaround for replies that I've learned. Just pop out the reply. When you do that, a quote is appended.

Thanks!
