Dear-sir-or-madam: a bookmarklet that transforms web pages into ransom notes
- bagels 13y agoCompletely illegible due to the colors and lack of contrast. Would be greatly improved if newsprint gray + black were used.
- holman 13y agoI hate it when my ransom notes aren't legible.
- ekianjo 13y agoyeah, usually ransom notes are made of cut-outs from newspapers, therefore only in black and white on greyish kind of background :)
- xerophtye 13y agoSubmitted an issue. Might submit pull request later. She limited the foreground range but not the background range, so we can assign them mutually exclusive ranges to keep it under control
- iwasphone 13y agoPerfect! I hope ransom notes come back in style.
- kalmar 13y agoYeah me too. For those who haven't checked it out yet, here's a screenshot of HN as a ransom note: http://i.imgur.com/Io2bqof.png http://i.imgur.com/Io2bqof.png
- piyush_soni 13y agoMay be it has some nostalgic/historic importance which I don't know, but if not, why would you want to do it?
- xerophtye 13y agoIt's sort of an old cartoonic reference to ransom notes which were assembled from cut out letters to hide the hand writing of the author. (obviously now u could just email them)
- css771 13y agoSubstitute magazines instead of webpages and you've got an answer to one of the most famous interview questions.
- gulbrandr 13y agojavascript:var i,s,ss=['//raw2.github.com/notwaldorf/dear-sir-or-madam/master/ransom-it.js','//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js'];for(i=0;i!=ss.length;i++){s=document.createElement('script');s.src=ss[i];document.body.appendChild(s);}void(0); Do you really need jquery for this?
