Skydive Auto Reminder is a project that started in 2019 (Consuela) with a Single Board Computer (SBC) and a Microcontroller. In 2020 (Julie), the SBC has been replaced with ESP8266. In 2021 (JoeWez), the whole project was just an ESP8266 and a transistor for audio amplification. In 2025 (Awesome Blossom), was still at one microcontroller but with a lot more features.
The next logical step in the project progression to reduce the number of microcontrollers while increasing features is using a web browser.
UserscriptHave you ever seen a website so ugly that made you apply for a job at that company to fix it then you found out how much they pay their employees then you realized that's why the website looks like that?
In the process of doing that, I discovered Violentmonkey, an open source userscript manager. I was surprised it's not mentioned in Userscript - Wikipedia. Beyond the scope of this project, I used Violentmonkey to automate JavaScript heavy pages like ServiceNow. Also found a very useful script to Auto Skip YouTube Ads.
Which monkey is right for you?I can't tell you how to live your life, but here's what I found on chatgpt.
🧠 Quick Summary (TL;DR)
Best overall (modern + free + open-source): Violentmonkey
Most polished + beginner-friendly: Tampermonkey
Legacy / Firefox-focused / least maintained: Greasemonkey
Does it work?Sure it does, what kind of question is that? If you have Violentmonkey extension added to your browser and clicked on the Raw button for the files ending with ".user.js" in GitHub repository, you'll be prompted to install the script.
Here are the links for Raw files:
DemoThis video starts with switching between different locations then using one script to turn on audible announcements. We then used another script to show multiple locations on the same page.
