Welcome to the Perspective API Extension Codebase

This extension is designed to bring Perspective feedback inline with the comments/text that you author.

Getting Started

1. Download extension
2. Start writing
3. Get Perspective feedback 👍

When you enable the extension (chrome only atm), you will see the Perspective indicator on the bottom right of your text box when you write content.

Pipeline (not necessarily in order)

• Enable Perspective feedback on input fields.
• Toggle to enable/disable the extension on a site.
• Show Perspective feedback text explanations.
• Allow users the ability to give submit their own feedback for a given toxicity score.
• Optimize positioning for popular sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
• Firefox add-on

Feedback, comments, bugs...

If you have feedback on this extension, please create an issue on this repository or in the chrome store listing. All types of feedback are welcome.

Disagree with a feedback result?

As the Perspective team puts it:

"It’s still early days and we will get a lot of things wrong."

The API allows for feedback on scores to be submitted but this is not built into the extension. This is in the pipeline, though!

Development

1. npm install

2. npm run build will create a build/ directory

3. (optional) npm run watch will create a build/ directory and will rebuild when changes happen in repo

The build/ directory is what contains the manifest and built extension code for loading the unpacked extension into chrome.
