Fix the Web's Status Update

, , , ...

Fix the Web was reviewed today and it was rejected. The reason it was rejected was because "No external JavaScript is allowed. All JavaScript code must be contained in the extension." The patches script violated that since it is loaded from Github. It crossed my mind several times that they might reject it for that reason, but I decided to see if they'd accept it anyway. I can see why they rejected it since malicious JS code could be loaded through the patches script. Of course I would never allow malicious JavaScript into patches.js, but I can see why they rejected it. So, we must resort to another plan.

Up and Coming...comments!

, , , ...

I'm happy to see that several people have already been using Fix the Web to report website problems. up I just wanted to let you all know that the next feature coming out is comments. You will be able to comment on website bug reports, and eventually, rate comments, or choose a comment as a solution to your problem. That will make the reporting, following, and fixing website problems much easier. Inside the extension, you will be able to view and post comments in the error reports frame (Popup > View problems reported on this site) or in the "Recent Reports" page (Popup > View Recent Reports). You will also be able to leave a comment on Fix the Web's home page.

If you have ideas regarding this, please leave a comment below! I especially want to know how I should display error report threads on the "Recent Reports" page in the extension. Would you like to have the error reports and comments displayed as a thread in the the modal window that current is displayed when you click a report, or should I make the thread display in its own page, or do you have a completely different idea than either of the ones I mentioned? Vote in the poll in the sidebar.
