Question

If you don't know already, The Unofficial OpenStudy App (TUOSA) in a nutshell is a Chrome extension that extends and enhances the current functionality of OpenStudy, as well as adding some stunning features.

I'm so excited!! TUOSA has reached about 40 users, and about five 5-star ratings on the Chrome app store!! 40 users are more then the users generally online on this subject alone! Thanks to your support, this feat could be made possible. (: Thank you for all your bug reports and suggestions and support along the way (:

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 (to the Chrome app store, where all the ratings and stuff are) is https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-unofficial-openstudy/fohdloiomokpkmokdjjbegonaighgnhn .

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

Answer 1

nice job sean! This app is amazing...doing school now lol...WHILE I REPLY!!!

Answer 2

I had to delete the app because it would not let me switch groups

Answer 3

@SWAG to switch groups, click "find more subjects". (:

Answer 4

this is not some JavaScript that could be added to the GreaseMonkey tool on Firefox, now would it?

Answer 5

You mean does it currently offer a Greasemonkey script ? or could it offer one ? what is your question ? :3

Answer 6

will this help with the lagg issues ?

Answer 7

it won't change the lag, but it certainly won't add to it (:

Answer 8

alright :)

Answer 9

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.

Answer 10

@dumbsearch2 yes that is what I meant.

Answer 11

well, technically it could work with Greasemonkey using the current script I'm using. But I'd have to modify it a little, wouldn't be too hard. I might do that soon.

Answer 12

Hmm. Nice extension Sean.
A few minor problems tho...
When switching between languages when I am typing... The favorite button disappears.
The search bar is too intrusive... Maybe place it somewhere else?
Because it messes up the group name bar (id=group-breadcrumb).
Maybe make the things more user friendly? Such as letting the user place the items? And what he/she wants enabled.

Also I'd like one future to be added... A ability to remove chat.
I know I can just click 'hide' but I want to hide the WHOLE chat-bar.

td;lr
Let the user be able to choose what they want enabled.
Fix some bugs.
And my idea :P

KTHXBAI! :-).

Answer 13

It's annoying to have to change subjects using the 'find more subjects' button. Getting to some of the less popular groups is a nightmare.

Answer 14

That's definitely something I'm in the proccess of fixing @rajathsbhat.
Else then that, do you like the app ? :3

Answer 15

@Opcode
