Proofing 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
