Firefox/Projects/Find on Page
From MozillaWiki
Contents
Summary
Currently, finding text on a page in Firefox can be challenging. The text is highlighted as the user types matching input, but this slow color change can be difficult to detect - especially when the highlight is similar to the background color. A subtle animation as the user types input could direct the user's attention to the word they are trying to find.
Current Status
Currently beginning phase 1:
- Have initial meeting with developers to outline what skills and time are needed to implement them
- (talk to Vlad first half of week 1)
- Find developers with free cycles and interest in the sprints (zpao?)
- Blog about the beginning of implementation
- Tightening up wireframes in preparation for implementation
Next Steps / Designs
Phase 2 (~2 weeks)
- Detailed implementation plan begun based on meetings during phase 1
- Bugs created to track progress & are assigned
- Informal user testing to optimize for speed, transitions, magnitized locking distance, etc
- Wireframes finalized into mockups
Phase 3 (~.5 weeks)
- Patches written
- Final tweaks & testing, reviews & landing
Related Bugs
This sprint will likely start out as being only based on design work.
Goals/Use Cases
