Why?

Problem

genius.com is the world’s biggest encyclopedia of music and has some powerful base features. But when it comes to extending that functionallity, you need a lot manpower to keep pushing such a platform forward. That also takes a lot of time.

Solution

Community-based development has its benefits and downsides, but instead of putting more and more pressure on the official dev team and waiting for new features to come, I created geniusly because I believe in the power of community-based projects where volunteers can fiddle around and maybe these features become offical some time. And if not, well, you can still use this extension.

Current stage

geniusly is currently in beta. So feel free to install it as described below and give some feedback.
