Choose Better Site for Initial Demonstration #42

Closed casebenton closed 8 years ago

casebenton commented 8 years ago

Currently the add-on opens a new tab of weather.com, and then shows the user a recommendation for weather. I choose this site without too much thought, and now I think it should definitely be changed to a better site.

Weather.com has lots of annoying banner ads. It also requests the browser location, which causes Firefox to open a second panel, right next to the rec panel, asking if it is ok to provide location data.

@Osmose what site do you think would be a good choice for the demo?

Osmose commented 8 years ago

Wikipedia or Reddit, I think. @mattgrimes may have an opinion as well.

I don't like Reddit as the site, mostly because super gross culture and bad front page. RES is awesome though.

I wish the Wikipedia addons were better.

Is there anything for MDN or such? Or maybe a European site to demo "ok to cookies"?

Sorry this is a hard problem!

We currently don't have any recommended add-ons for Wikipedia. What about Wikiwand as a recommended add-on? It looks pretty good to me: lots of users, lots of good reviews, no crap ads on install, and Wikipedia is a relatively neutral site.

MattGrimes commented 8 years ago

How about asking the AMO folks how they feel about recommending wikiwand?

casebenton commented 8 years ago

Ok. What's the best way to reach them? Is there an irc channel I should ask, or an email list?

Osmose commented 8 years ago

@casebenton Scott DeVaney is the person we worked with to generate the list on the mailing list, you should ask him.

Is this closed?

casebenton commented 8 years ago

Not yet. Will be fixed when #59 merges
