Viewer release #797

Final TODOs before we can release the viewer:

hahn-kev commented 5 months ago

For feedback I 100% want this as a feature and I like the idea of a google form, however there's no way to pass metadata to a google form (IE what the URL was where they clicked feedback), so I don't think that will work for us unless we want zero context on their feedback. That said I feel like a prefilled email is probably the simplest way to go, we can prefill the body of the email with a mailto link, then the user can just provide their feedback, we also get their email address even if they aren't a registered user. Just a thought, I'm sure there's services out there that will do it for us but I don't really want yet another tool, and anything else we already have would require an account. The only other option would be that we build our own feedback feature (since they already have an account with us) but I don't want to spend the time on that.

Actually, ChatGPT says you can pre-populate a google form with URL encoded GET values and assigning them to form elements using their IDs (which you get by inspecting the form). https://chat.team-gpt.com/lt-lexical-tools/6656ebe4ca989092547d2c1e

Based on a stack overflow post it's not possible, so I suspect the AI might be making that up, can you test it to verify if it's correct?

You can edit the query param values in this URL and it works: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8p-hiEZZHse3yEvqVQnAYVoFHdBRVPTuLXISC4Q8F8u_ULw/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.1828162391=Test+tim+edited&entry.1256080784=Option+3

oh awesome. I just realized I made an issue #637 for this already, so I'll copy your response into it

A possible message to show to new users:

What is this?

This is a beta version of a new dictionary building tool that is currently under development.

The data you see here reflects the current data in the corresponding Language Forge project.

This read-only version of the new dictionary tool is primarily for gathering early feedback on its look and feel. So, please use the Feedback button in the top right corner of the page.

It can edit FieldWorks projects!

It's true! There's already another version of the tool that you can use today to open and edit your data in FieldWorks. We're calling it FieldWorks Lite. Please download and try out the alpha version of FieldWorks Lite as well.

Should I be excited?

Yes! FieldWorks Lite will be revolutionary in multiple ways. It will be:

  • Cross-platform: it will work on Windows, Linux, Mac and eventually mobile
  • Usable offline: you won't need an internet connection
  • Collaborative: you will see any changes other users make as they work
  • Faster than you're used to - we're quite confident about that 😀

Eventually, FieldWorks Lite will replace both WeSay and Language Forge.

So, please send us your feedback. We want this tool to serve you as well as possible.
