Crowdsource (y)our view. Universal tweaks to refine, renew, re-imagine the web. (Imagine uBlock 'My Filters' as a global collaboration). One-fit-all. The web as a visual-collaboration/-wiki. - We can unite the web's litter removers, (universal) minimalism or (universally favorable web-)street art . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

## "crowdFixes"  -  _`Crowdsource (y)our view`_    



 - a new word. Collective tweaks easier than "user scripts", but universally relevant/functional  and  a collective crowd effort) (unlike "user styles" for specific tastes). 







 `IDEA:`   Crowd-Sourcing universal CSS improvements or annotations to refine, renew, reimagine the web.  
 - One-fit-all. The web as collaboration / wiki  

- **Mandate:** Tweaks for everybody.
 

- **Debate:** If we can achieve the best, then can we also make the community of volunteers grow/prosper from it? 

Or must we tolerate, if our work will be implemented by the originals, after we prove it right, without giving us credit?)

- **Scheme / "Rules of the game":**  Everybody runs every tweak out of a pool/catalogue, that is was voted up, democratically or near consensus by the community, i.e.  >80%  "Yes", while  quickly disabling a tweak could also inevitably change one's vote to "No". Collecting at least 100 votes for each, by users/volunteers & revisors/developers. ( * Wisdom Of The Crowd:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOucwX7Z1HU) (User IDs could be random, data could be public, on a central server or in a blockchain / L2 blockchain)

    - **1.** This will motivate thoughtfulness, unexpected help, wonderful creativitiy: 

        - Deleting useless things 

        - Enlarging tiny inputs & Auto-focus if they are the only input.

        - Web-street art.

        - Correcting fake news in place.

        - ...

   - **2.** There can be specific rule sets, as in Adblockers. For example one called "Brand-Me-Not" or "Logo-Hater", removing logos in the top left of websites. (Except those that >20% of users whitelist and think of as relevant content (be it for being non-profits, social or small enough, or so). While this set-example as a whole might not be wanted by more than >80% of people, so that it will be at risk of becoming optional opt-in. Yet a 2nd-level (another consensus within), will raise the value of the whole, so that it might be visible enough. While 2nd-level thresholds could be auto-adjusted to optimize the overall-acceptance of a set.)

   - **3.** Most tweaks will be per domain, yet can any be applied for a wide URL-range? ( Such as .edu? - And for everybody - "Holy-Grail"?). 

      - ("Brand-Me-Not", may be half-done with  body :nth-child(-n+5){ \*[id="logo"], img[src^="logo."], img[src*="/logo."], \*[href="#"] \*, \*[href="/"] \*, \*:not([class~=" "]).logo, [id="logo"], :is(img)[src^="logo."], :is(img)[src\*="/logo."], [href="#"] \*, [href="/"] \*, :not([class~=" "]).logo {display:none})

   - In other words:

     - compare: https://github.com/letsblockit/letsblockit 

     -   Similar: UserScripts & UserStyles but pragmatic, with voting resulting in collectively running  things & little effort per person

         - [UserScripts](https://greasyfork.org) (Often require some review, same as browser extensions. ) 

         - [UserStyles.org](https://userstyles.org) (Currently mostly themes/playful. Easy adjustability tho already.) 

     - Not only for devs [css-peeper](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/css-peeper/mbnbehikldjhnfehhnaidhjhoofhpehk), [user js&css](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-javascript-and-css/nbhcbdghjpllgmfilhnhkllmkecfmpld), [Live css,less,sass:octocat:](https://github.com/webextensions/live-css-editor) 

     - Nor "Remix the web"-niche for style-nerds [chrome.google/webstore/amino-live-css](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/amino-live-css-editor/pbcpfbcibpcbfbmddogfhcijfpboeaaf)

###  Just some quick examples (drafts) :

1. The following two github standard labels can be boring / unnecessary to watch, so lets make them just a bit less visible: 


 


 `a[data-name^='help wanted'], a[data-name^='good first issue'] {opacity: 0.80; transform:scale(0.96);}` 




 

 

2. The google analytics filter field is very small since ages. It also is very far on the right. 




 Lets make it just a little better:  .ID-filterBox { width:190px !important;  font-size: 14px !important;  height: 21px !important;} 


 

3. Youtube's sidebar is very bold and contrasty, compared to actuall videos. Lets counter balance that by just 12% transparency:  #secondary {opacity:0.88} 

###  Testing methods: 

  -  uBlock Origin or https://github.com/code-charity/dark-mode/
