Report broken site link

Report Broken Site

Because there is no standard for what metadata should look like for websites. Some websites need exceptions and their own special code so I made a report broken site button that reports any broken sites to me. So I can get that website working in the next version

The application now allows for several citation formats

New formats

The application used to have just MLA 8 citation but it now has support for ADA, and Chicago citations as well as a settings page to change the citation you prefer to use.

Ship #1

I made a google chrome / Firefox extension that gives the user the MLA 8 citation of the page they are currently on. Its just a simple quality of life app for English Essays and whatnot. I struggled and continue to find the author of the page because each website does it differently.

FInalized a few details and made it work with google chrome

Google Chrome Support

Google chrome prefers that when using the browser API you use the chrome class instead of the browser class, it also costs 5$ to put it onto the marketplace.

The readme is very simple it just explains the project

Hopefully I get the extension onto the marketplace it has to go through a review process before it can be on there.

made a nicer GUI for the citation extension.

The nicer GUI

I used a mix of AI and myself for this just because I always do too much with CSS, but I think it is simple and nice for once.

Added a simple memory system to remember previous citations

The memory system

The memory system uses the browser.storage API to save previous citations I need to add a delete button next but it does save the citations.

I was getting base functionality of the citer working

The Citer

The Citer only does MLA 8 citations right now but there maybe more in the future.

How it works

It uses a lot of the metadata in the page gathered headers of the html, but it will also look for top level heading “h1” to determian the name of the article.
