Internet Enhancement Suite

• 

  Example of making text red

Inspiration

About 2 months ago, I had to read The Cathedral and the Bazaar, but it looked awful and hurt to read, so I made a chrome extension that specifically changed that site's styles to be easier to read. Old: New:

What it does

Allows you to edit a css and js file (1 each) that gets injected into a site displayed in the right pane. The preview site hot reloads when the css and js are changed.

How I built it

I used vanilla JS and CSS with codemirror as the syntax highlighter tool for the editor. NodeJS on the backend

Challenges I ran into

• Cross-origin policies
• Deploying and making file-system changes in heroku

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

• It looks pretty
• it works for some sites!

What I learned

• how to use the node.js file system
• more about vanilla js xhr requests
• how much of a pain cross-origin-policies are :(

What's next for Internet Enhancement Suite

Add user auth and chrome extension with enable-able "enhancements"

Built With

• codemirror
• css3
• html5
• javascript
• node.js
