Install
No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/hughc/wp-proofing-tool/archive/refs/heads/master.zipProofing Tool
A simple Wordpress plugin based on the Google Feedback clone created by ivoviz.
Once the plugin is enabled, a "Proofing Tool' popup can be triggered from the bottom right of the front-end.
It uses html2canvas to capture the screen, along with highlighted regions. Users can then provide a title and descriptions to accompany the capture. On save, a custom Proofing Note post is created, into which each submitted note and image is saved.
Notes have a custom view interface, allowing the capture to be viewed in a distraction free context.
potential improvements
- allow commenting on notes
- field to indicate issue status (new / pending / wontfix)
- allow notes to be 'assigned' to other users, triggering email alerts
- integration with 3rd party systems (wunderlist, jira?)
- improve note viewing
known issues
- does not, and will likely never capture iframe content, so 3rd-party video in particular will not be seen
