This is an “expansion for proofreaders” - HabraCorrection . The reason for its appearance can be read in the last topic . Finally, it reached version 1.0.0, because the minimum set of wishes of dear users has been fulfilled.
The source code on github.com can be installed from here .
I hope you will not throw tomatoes for advertising. Application for Habr, where and to whom else to tell about it?
I decided not to repeat changelog from the application page, but to answer some questions that, in my opinion, may arise from readers.
Q: Why is this needed?
A: To simplify the procedure for reporting error to authors of articles on the hub
Q: What is required to use the application?
A: Install, be an authorized user of Habr.
Q: I found an error in the article, how to send a message to the author?
A: Select the error text, press Ctrl + Enter. In the dialog box that appears, edit the message and send.
Q: Can I somehow add links to the relevant rules of the Russian language?
A: The application has a set of predefined rules with corresponding links to therules.ru , tsya.ru sites ; they can be selected using the selectors in the message sending dialog box.
Q: I want to add / change rules and links. How to do it?
A: You can configure the list of rules on the extension settings page.
Q: Some authors make mistakes too often. How would I send one message with several errors at once?
A: For this you need to enable the so-called silent mode in the extension settings. If it is enabled, then selecting text + pressing Ctrl + Enter will add text to the error list for subsequent sending the message. To call the dialog box for sending a message, you need to reset the selection on the page and press Ctrl + Enter. The error list is cleared after the message is sent.
Q: I would like to use the application, but I do not use Google Chrome, what should I do?
A: At the moment there is a version only for Chrome, but the application is designed to be minimally dependent on the browser, so you can hope that it will soon be ported to other browsers.
I would like to add that the code was written as my first Javascript program, so it’s pretty terrible and needs to be fixed. But I tried to document it as much as possible (the documentation is in / docs) and eliminate the most terrible nonsense, so I invite dear hub users to visit the github repository for participation and help. I will be very happy if someone decides to fork the code and make an application for, for example, Fox.
Upd. An unpleasant error crept in: during the first use, the fields in the dialog box were incorrectly initialized. The bug is fixed, the current version is 1.0.5.
