I will be building the front-end for a highlighting and flagging feature for Parlor, a Chrome browser add-on.
Parlor is currently being run as a pilot at SFSU Business School. Students are using it to share what they’re reading on the web.
Users will be able to highlight text on a web-page, flag it, submit a comment and assign topic categories. Flagged snippets will appear in a roll-up of all flagged items from the class.
Users who land on a page that has been flagged will be able to see flagged text highlighted and be able to view comments and topics in-place.
