Mobile Reader of Tree-Structured Text
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Create a mobile browser extension that places a control on Readers' Comments page on a mobile newspaper website to activate, upon user’s request (and without requiring a new login), the following sequence of steps:
Step 1. Delete the (pre-configurable) text, highlighted in blue on Picture 3 and everything above it
Step 2. Expand the comments tree by clicking one or more times on the controls, like those highlighted in green on Pictures 1 and 2 (their labels should be pre-configurable), until those controls don't appear anymore.
Step 3. Delete the text pieces matching the pre--configurable patterns, like those highlighted in red on Pictures 1, 2 and 3.
Step 4. Read the resulting text aloud (US English) by piping to a 3rd-party extension (selectable by user).
Pre-configurable means: the lists of text patterns should be editable.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficient in mobile browsers' extensions (Firefox)
- Experience with creating user interface design for Android
- Knowledge of text-to-speech integration
