How Defkey widget will work
The widget aims you to take other users' attention to a specific, maybe an overlooked keyboard shortcut. It may seem hyperbolic to embed a code just for a shortcut.
But I thought such a widget would get more attention, and people who click on program's icon will see all other shortcuts, too.
In near future, I may add something like "like" or "thanks" button on shortcuts. I already have their interaction number. By displaying this number, maybe I can show it's importance level.
Here are the important things to know about this widget:
-
Widget will stay available, and their source URL won't break. I may add new features in future and it may change widget's look.
-
The widget is very light and will download only about 15-20KB of data (html, svg logos and a webp icon), and will make about 2-3 requests. By comparison, the data downloaded is a about ten times less than embedded Twitter widget, which download about 210KB and make about 18 requests (as of 25.07.2019).
-
The widget is responsive, will adapt to large and small devices/areas.
-
Definitely, not every website or forum will allow you to embed external html code, probably only some of them will.
-
It'll never show ads or anything irrevelant to program's shortcuts.
-
The widget loads an iframe from HTTPS page, therefore it won't break your web page's security state.
-
The widget doesn't collect any personal information about user and about where it's embedded (I'd want to get host page name, but it's not so easy to get info out of the iframe). It only collects the info that it is loaded.
-
The widget is just a piece of html code and it won't do nefarious things.
-
The shortcut information is not guaranteed to be up to date. You can suggest me an update at [email protected] .
