Reviews for Archive Page
Archive Page by John Navas
Review by worst
Rated 5 out of 5
by worst, 5 years agoSo it would seem I'm the second user to install this add-on and the first user to review it. How exciting!
The current behavior when you click the icon is to check whether the page is archived, and if so it sends you to the most recent snapshot. If not, a snapshot is automatically taken of the page. This is pretty foolproof as archive.today already asks if you want to take a new snapshot if a snapshot exists and is older than 5 minutes, so there's no need to include a separate snapshot button.
The one thing I would change is to include an option in the settings to disable automatic submission for snapshots on click, as I can imagine a webdev or some similar case where a page that shouldn't have been uploaded ends up archived accidentally via misclick or whatever.
Keep up the great work John!

Developer response
posted 5 years agoThank you. I'm trying to keep this simple and foolproof for regular users, so I'm reluctant to do anything that might make it more complicated, and I don't think there's much extra load from mistakes, but if you give me more details of what you have in mind, I'll give it serious consideration. Thanks again.
