  • highlight keywords on home page

v2.1 - June 8 2011

  • renamed from 'View as Spiderbot' to 'View as Googlebot' as it was confusing people

  • content inside forms now shows

v2 - May 22 2011

Added keyword highlighting:

  • highlights whole words
  • highlight colours grouped per keyphrase (comma separated keywords)
  • highlights inside links
  • highlight colours closely match Google's highlighing
  • CSS style adjustments to forms & buttons
  • (we are moving through versions quickly, I like to release a new version number (v1, v2) for each major feature, and sub-versions like v1.1, v1.2 for bug fixes)

v1.1 - May 12 2011

Some obvious bug fixes:

  • strips more image tags
  • link color set to blue when previewing
  • checks for non-loading websites and shows a error message
  • started working on highlighting of user-entered keywords... stay tuned

v1 - May 3 2011

It took me 4 hours to build this first release, so lots to do yet (read the roadmap):

  • works!
  • may put in urls starting with 'http://' or just 'www'
  • strips javascript, css and flash code
  • strips most image tags
