downworthy's Introduction

Flattr this git repo

Downworthy Chrome Extension

This is a very rough version right now, not quite ready for prime-time, but the general gist is that of a Chrome extension (Safari and maybe FF coming soon) that replaces the absurd hyperbole of clickbait viral content sites like Buzzfeed, ViralNova, Upworthy, etc with more realistic headlines.

Visit the Website

Visit the official plugin website at http://downworthy.snipe.net for more info, examples and roadmap.

Examples from Real ViralNova Articles:

Alt text

Original text: Nothing Could Prepare Me For What’s Revealed When This Glacier Lake Melts. OMG Original Title: Nothing Could Prepare Me For What’s Revealed When This Glacier Lake Melts. OMG

To Do:

The code I have right now is very basic, working mostly from the fantastic Cloud-to-Butt extension, but I'll be adding in some smarter logic later to handle slightly more sophisticated English constructs.

I also need to better handle infinite scroll and progressive loading. Right now, it fires when the DOM is finished loading, and then it doesn't fire again, which means when you're stuck on one of these websites (that of course uses infinite scroll), the stuff that hasn't appeared on the page at the time of page load completion and prior to additional content being revealed won't be transformed.

And finally, I'm going to have the actual string replacement library pulling from S3, so that it updates automatically, so when I update the goods, you get them the next time you start your browser.

Propose new mode: Profanity free

Since you've already mentioned wanting to add multiple modes, I want suggest a profanity-free one. I personally don't mind profanity all that much, but I'd love to show this to a lot of people who do. The alteration needed would be quite small. You could even use funny fake profanity.

Better options page!

Please, make the exceptions field a resizable text box. It's impossible to deal with that tiny field, especially when you have many exceptions. Just make the delimiter a newline instead of a comma.

Permanently replaces phrases in Wordpress?

Hi, not sure if this is a bug or if it's just the cost of using the app... As Snipe already knows, I covered the app over at the website I write for, Geekosystem, and somehow over the course of editing the article I wrote in our Wordpress-based back end, it looks like the app permanently replaced all the original examples I used?`

For example, I very vividly remember typing the word "literally" at one point in our coverage, and after a tip from another commenter I decided to go back in and check and it had changed to "figuratively," EVEN when the app was off and deleted from my Chrome browser -- which means that it somehow changed the text IN the article. I guess I just hadn't noticed before because the app was on last time I checked on the article!

Has anyone else run into this problem at all? I'm going to have to keep the app off my browser in the meantime since unfortunately I DO use those phrases every once in a while during work (I just really like the word amazing, okay).

Either way, it's an awesome concept, so keep up the good work! Maybe this'll just be something I have to avoid on an individual basis as a member of the media or whatever.

Sites to ignore by default

Would it be possible to include a list of sites to ignore by default?
I found myself making unintended changes while editing Wikipedia before realizing that Downworthy was causing the changes.

Is it possible to work on ads?

I'd love this to work on clickbaity ads - however it doesn't perform - perhaps it needs a rerun after the page render?

Cheers

Support for multiple languages

A way to support translation files would be great. I've had a few offers for translations but haven't had time to look into handling translations well.

Icon doesn't show up in Chrome extension list

accessed via chrome://extensions

The generic icon might make people feel uncomfortable with the extension.

I made sure to quit and relaunch Chrome, and I made sure to uninstall the .crx version to be sure that it wasn't just me. I think it's not - though it is certainly possible that having had the .crx drag-installed has messed up some kind of icon cache.

Visually indicate when a swap has been performed

Perhaps optionally (with a checkbox or something)

But I would like something that looks visually distinct so I can be reminded that Downworthy has changed the content - I was thinking something like a zig-zaggy underline like MS Word's spellcheck, but it can be anything - just so long as it sticks out.

I think, implementation-wise, you would have to put your replacement text within a <span> that had some class that would never conflict with any of the CSS on the page - something like <span class="__downworthy_replacement"> - and find a way to add your stylesheet reference to the page - maybe an inline-stylesheet would be enough if there is only ever going to be one class in the stylesheet.
