## What it is
dotjs is a Google Chrome extension plus a tiny local Ruby web server that executes JavaScript files from ~/.js on matching websites, with jQuery preloaded. It offers a filesystem-based alternative to GreaseMonkey user scripts for customizing web pages.

## Use cases
- customize websites with local javascript files
- inject jquery scripts into pages i visit
- replace greasemonkey userscripts with file-based scripts
- run default.js helpers on every website
- hack page appearance like swapping logos

## When to choose
- you are on OS X with Ruby and want file-based page customization
- you prefer editing local files over publishing userscripts

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained or cross-platform solution
- you are on Linux or Windows without a community port
- you want modern Chrome extension APIs
