cristianuibarQ: Ok.
Just spent 30 minutes writing a huge wall of text and questions and appsumo site didn't post it, returing a 500 error on the submit request. Ping @appsumo here?
So here we go again but with much less details:
First, thank you for your amazing extention, here are my questions:
1) Why clicking around using the inspector will add "changes" even if exporting them will show nothing?
2) Your WP plugin seems not reliable, having < 10 installs and updated 8 months ago currently at version 0.1? It seems to only "sync" your CSS and not adding the small JS you're talking about so my clients can use VI without an extention?
3) Where I can find in your dashboard my "js" script to add on my dev instances?
4) If a client comments or changes a text where can I see a history inside your dashboard of all changes? Or Exporting them? Your web dashboard seems way too limited and lacks features IMHO. Any roadmap for it?
5) I tried to use incognito to comment but I keept hitting the "reigster or login" wall using your extention. How my clients can comment and edit text on a page without an account, as guests?
6) I don't use a MAC nor sketch and I build websites using visual builders, so I want to enable your script site-wide for staging so clients can review my design / changes. Now, if a clients wants to add a comment or change a text on a page that is not added to my dashboard from the staging site, but a project for that site is added, how will it sync in my dashboard so I can view their changes?
7) Your documentation / demos are quite limited and I would love more youtube tutorials and case studies on how to use the tool? Like more work-flows that doen't involve Sketch?
8) While clicking around without doing any changes, a two column design on my page broke and the second column when under the first, why is that and how to fix?
Hey Christian, thanks for digging in and sharing such an elaborate query.
1. Few changes are saved while website changes in the background ( some Js may have changed image carousel etc..). It is not specific to Visual Inspector.
2. WP plugin is not critical to Visual Inspector but more like a utility to sync the CSS. Most of the users prefer to copy CSS code by themselves instead of relying to WP plugin.
3. Here's the code (it may have landed to your SPAM folder).
<script type="text/javascript">
(function (g) {
var s = document.createElement('script'),
t = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.async = true;
s.src = g + '?v=' + (new Date()).getTime();
s.charset = 'UTF-8';
s.setAttribute('crossorigin', '*');
t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t);
})('https://www.canvasflip.com/plugins/vi/vi.min.js');
</script>
4. You can view all the changes right on your website > Open Visual Inspector. You can export the changes right from there.
All the action happens inside the Chrome extn, Dashboard is only to keep all the stuff in one place
5. Guest users need to create a FREE account to leave comments. This brings more security, accountability and helps with notifications etc.
6. You can use on-site installation with JS code. Mac/Sketch not needed.
7. It doesn't necessarily need Sketch. Most users find Visual inspector very intuitive. You can also join the webinar to see how it helps you in detail. If you have any specific query, I'll be happy to help you over Skype call as well.
8. That's strange. Can you please send a video grab and the website link?
Thanks again and hope it was helpful.
So with 2 users in this plan, it's just me and a single client? I recently purchased lifetime for ProjectHuddle. It doesn't have the fancy CSS editor, but I have no issues with the number of clients that can use it at the same time. Also it integrates well with my LiveAgent support desk (simply via email). Those are a major plus for me. So I am really in doubt if I will make the switch to you.
Ha, anybody try use this for mobile page? F12 and plugin get all screen (h/angry) - I cant see page - only VI...
This is not for me - just You cant design mobile view.
Just show me :P
