Project Wikify Updated

Yes, it's true. I finally updated Wikify

In 2008 (That long ago, I know!), I started something called Project Wikify. Basically, it was a bookmarklet which let people edit stuff on web pages and save it onto a server. A lot of people may be aware of the simple thing where pasting javascript:document.designMode=”on”; into the URL bar makes the internet explode into awesomeness such as replacing every other word in this blog with the name of a certain genitalia. Of course, the absolutely huge issue with this is that you really can’t share your awesome creation.

So here comes Wikify to fix that, the age-old problem of sharing your vandalized sites has been finally resolved….  a year ago. And since then, nobody really has ever cared.

So, I looked back at it last week, and realized how painfully crappy the website for it was. To fix it, I decided to test out iWeb, yes, a totally non-leet WYSIWYG editor. But yes, that’s how crappy my web-design skills are, so the result is quite an improvement. Anyway, I used the Blank-Page template, so at least you can spare your eyes from yet another generic theme (*cough this blog cough*).

While designing the site, I tried out Wikify and discovered that it didn’t work on Wikipedia articles and the News button didn’t work. So I quickly got those features working, so now i’m writing this blog post about my tiny edits and the new site.

    Hello again.
    I have posted several more comments to the previous post, but they are not shown :(.
    Are you interested in stabilizing your jsvectoreditor?

    Blame WordPress’s Akismet spam filter, its overly strict with classifying real comments with spam. I went through spam list and manually approved your comments.

    Yes, I’m interested in updating VectorEditor, please file some bug reports on google code. http://code.google.com/p/jsvectoreditor/issues/list

    I have created some behavior issues/enhancements requests.
    Some of them might be challenging, so please think about payment.

    By the way, I have had a bit similar project http://code.google.com/p/storybuilder/ (unfortunately, not finished and paused at the moment).

    Most of the issues are interface-specific and I’ve provided some code snippets to resolve most of them. The one relating to text is quite hard and I might consider payment for that.
