Green Check

Inspiration

No specific inspiration. I just wanted to add to the underdeveloped world of bookmarklets.

What it does

It opens a tab which checks if the site is running on clean hosting. I originally wanted to use this API but it is down so I pivoted to this.

How we built it

I found the site that checks other sites greenness. I went to the network section of the console and found the format of the requests. I used a REST Firefox extension to make sure I know how it worked. I made the super simple JavaScript for the project.

Challenges we ran into

document.domain is depreciated so I used 'window.location.hostname`.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It was done in very little code and debugging.

What we learned

I learned that document.domain was depreciated.

What's next for Green Check

I asked the developers of the original API I was going to use if it was still maintained. If it is, and it comes back online I will make a more complex version that gives the user more information.
