Question

OpenStudy desktop+mobile apps released on the Chrome app store!

I'm so excited, after months I'm finally finished developing TUOSA, The Unofficial OpenStudy App.

I'm still developing it, so new features should be coming all the time! :D

The Unofficial OpenStudy App (TUOA) is a Chrome extension that extends and enhances the current functionality of OpenStudy, as well as adding some stunning features.

Some of the features include a search tool, where you can search any thread ever created on OpenStudy, and a favorite tool where you can favorite any thread to view later.

To learn more about it, and to view the video go to http://dumbsearch.com/tuosa/ .

The download link is https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-unofficial-openstudy/fohdloiomokpkmokdjjbegonaighgnhn .

Feel free to drop any feedback you have about it here (:


And regarding the mobile apps, they should be ready in about a month or so (:

Edit: BTW, the new version of http://www.dumbsearch.com/chat (dumbchat, my social media site) should be released sometime in the following months.

Edit: Thank you, @SnuggieLad for some of your design suggestions that I used partially (:

Answer 1

That's the way ahan ahan @dumbsearch2

Awesome work (y)

Answer 2

No it doesnt...where is it located?

Answer 3

Well yes i do.

Answer 4

Snuggie, just open a new tab, it doesn't take effect on old tabs. @SnuggieLad

Answer 5

OH I SEE! THERE IS A SEARCH BOX NOW! but i dont see the Fav button

Answer 6

Glad you like it, @hba :)

Answer 7

If i may...you should add a unfav button so it will not clog the fave box up...second of all...if you refresh you can fav again...then it shows up twice...lastly...you should make it where if someone replies you get a notif from the app

Answer 8

no, it doesn't show twice.

what are you talking about, snuggie ?

Answer 9

:3
do you like it ?

Answer 10

how do i unfav?
I LOVE IT! only one thing and that is minor...you should have notifs go to that app

Answer 11

like have the bird change colors when someone has replied to a fav post

Answer 12

@Preetha

Answer 13

Sean...you...are...BRILLIANT!

Answer 14

OH DUMB! YOU ARE NOT DUMB :)

Great work Sean , AWESOME!!!

Answer 15

Thank you, @SnuggieLad :)

Answer 16

Thanks, @mathslover :)

Answer 17

EVERYONE BEST HIS RESPONCE!

Answer 18

@eyad Come check this out :3
@yrelhan4 I would love to hear your feedback :3

Answer 19

@pooja :3

Answer 20

AND AND AND I liked the search option more. Though, favourite button is also nice.

DUMB, We would like to see you working for OS...

Answer 21

one last thing...fix the naming system...when you fave a post you should at least have a preview name...this post is the first one...and i would never be able to pick that out of a crowd once i start faving a lot...maybe when you get a reply have the number of replies next to it and bump it to the top of the list. YOU SHOULD WORK FOR OPENSTUDY! Also...like i said a pop out chat and preview for quick access without running to the full page would help! + an unfave button

Answer 22

+1 (snuggie)

Answer 23

Sean ,Thats brilliant !!
I liked it a lot !! Very good job :)

Answer 38

But I have a bug report for you. I can't switch groups for some reason :(

Answer 39

the extension won't take effect on your current tabs, only on your new ones.

Answer 40

Unless you can tell me how to fix it

Answer 41

click "fine more subjects" and there you can select one

Answer 42

thats an alternative fix.... but it should work, hovering over the topic to chose between others!! which operating system ?

Answer 43

yeah...it doesnt work for me either

Answer 44

you have to use the find more subjects link at the top..then when you change it it still shows you in openstudy feedback

Answer 45

Windows 8 (64 bit, 8GB RAM, AMD VISION A8-4500M CPU, Radeon HD 7640G 4GB GDDR3) Its a laptop. Oh, and the system name is Neko-PC if you need that.

Answer 59

Answer 60

idk how to fav things anyway

Answer 61

the favorite button is kinda wacky too. good job though :] i really like the search bar

Answer 62

sorry, it doesn't go away: its just that I'm changing the code to fix some bugs so some things could go a little outawack; just for this minute.

Answer 63

UPDATE 2.1:
Bug fixes and improvements

1. @AriPotta The wacky favorite button bug should be fixed.
2. Now, the favorited posts are numbered.
3. @bloodrain We're currently undergoing the fix. And regarding the favorite button, it should be on the top of this page.

ALL OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS WILL TAKE EFFECT ON THE NEW TAB
UPDATES HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY, SILENTLY.

Answer 64

OK it just started messing with my Google search. If I go in Google it turns blue D: I disabled TUOSA and it stopped turning blue.

Answer 65

it shoudn't make Google blue.
refresh the google page.

Answer 66

The extension doesn't affect any third-party, only openstudy.

Answer 67

Is it because my computer is in Japanese?

Answer 68

Oh, I think its because I clicked Google too many times ._.

Answer 69

all I know is that the extension doesn't affect any website other then OpenStudy.

Answer 70

well maybe my computer got messed up then

Answer 71

it looks like your cursor selected the whole page, in that screenshot.

Answer 72

@.Sam. Any suggestions ? :)
Thanks for the medal.
and @Zale101 (:

Answer 73

BTW if your wondering, whats displayed on the favorites is the ID of the OpenStudy thread favorited.

Answer 74

@AriPotta Tell me if the favorite button bug is fixed....

Answer 75

You did a great work @dumbsearch2. The idea of putting the search bar was great. I congratulate you for your hard work. So your done with the app, completely?

Answer 76
