9 years ago Hey Matt,
as some drive-by feedback, I found the prototype a little hard to follow. It would help me a bunch if you could record a video of some common user flows, or perhaps add more description to each page to help me figure out where I am, and what I should be clicking…
Thanks!

9 years ago Hey! I love this idea! I usually use the built-in image editors of instagram or Facebook on my phone for basic edits, or diptic (a seperate app I have on my phone that makes collages) but something like this (especially if it could make collages!) would be a hit. I would definitely use it myself, and I think it could be a good way to drive traffic towards the webmaker tools.
Are we thinking of rolling this out with the new webmaker tools or with the tools we have right now?
If we are thinking of rolling it out with the current tools I would just want to make sure the on boarding experience was really clean since wanting to edit an image to wanting to build a website might be a bit of a jump. But I think mentors and educators would like it as an easier way for learners to collect content for their makes.

9 years ago Thanks @LucyeoH. This would be for the new tool. A seamless transition will be essential.
@bwinton -- at this stage we're seeking feedback on the idea more than the details of this experience. I added some instructions to the first view in the prototypes.

9 years ago I love seeing thinking about building things like this into the browser! While experiencing your paper prototype I was trying to think about how this add on distinguishes itself from other image editing addons.
Yes, you could teach people quite a bit about the web and the nature of certain minute aspects with a tool like this. If it's fun, mentors will find ways to use it for teaching and the greater good.
I probably wouldn't use it to share things with my friends (but that's a Laurism!), but rather comment on things to change context so learners see something in a different way.
Something you might consider showing in the prototype is the "big reveal" - not trying to give feedback on the prototype per say, but rather the communication of the idea. Is the goal to make it easy for a user to edit an image or to teach the web? They aren't mutually exclusive of course...
This is super lame, but I take screenshots, paste into Fireworks, do a thing, screenshot and stick on imgur. Once I used the group me meme maker function but didn't share my meme. And otherwise I used to use thimble to comment on things.

Not lame at all. In fact, understanding how people hack the gaps between existing tools & platforms will enable us to make a unique thing that people actually want to use.
@toolness observed someone using instagram filters outside that closed silo: take pic, use filters, post pic, save pic, and then delete the post.
Mapping these tricks can help us create a tool that cracks the divide between closed and open publishing.

Hello! We are testing a browser add-on idea for Webmaker and would love your feedback.
Problem: People who like to re-share content cannot easily edit or make new things from the content they find on the web. They might not know it's possible, and even if they do, the tools can be difficult to access.
Solution: This simple add-on will...

Thanks for the feedback!
