Maker here. I have made DataMask Editor to scratch my own itch performing basic screenshot manipulation tasks when producing images for my blog articles and tutorials. I don't like installing software and believe that most of the desktop apps can be replaced with web applications. Datamask Editor web app is great when I have to switch between Macbook and Windows laptop since editor works exactly the same no matter the OS.
Datamask Editor also compliments my DataMask Pro browser extension. Screenshots taken from the browser extension are automatically opened in the DataMask Editor. See the integration in action: https://youtu.be/xE8_zwH5jAs
Adding more bike paths to reach city center from suburbs and locking down city center for cars should follow next. There are plenty of research which shows that slow traffic brings more business to shops
Trial licence is implemented using the canonical way provided by Google. This was a big mistake from my side, don't get me started how bad the entire flow is. Google could have solved this with one API call but they chose to leave it to the maker to combine different Google services to achieve this. This is why it needs access to googleapis.com to check for licence. For all other pages, extension uses activetab permission which allows to modify content of the current tab.
I am learning as I go about extensions and building a product in general. So far I am learning mostly from my mistakes as some of it is specific to Chrome Web Store. It would be really great to connect and chat. I will reach out.
There are many screenshot tools, Windows OS has probably the most out of the box. But there are very little which would be geared towards web content and HTML manipulation. And hopefully I can provide the best experience by focusing on one niche first.
See other comment about this for details. Hopefully I can get them to whitelist the domain. My landing page or extension has nothing to do with crypto.
That's a good idea. I could add new secure/maximum privacy action in the extension UI. Instead of relying on users knowing about the limitations of blur
True, blur on large areas is reversible, even visually user can see the text true and I hope that users will recognise that. That's why I also added scramble option which replaces all text with random characters. Combining scramble for data protection and blur for visual affect is the best combination
Maker here. I have built the DataMask Chrome extension out of personal frustration when manually hiding private data in screenshots for my blog articles. I was spending a lot of time opening Chrome Dev tools manipulating website content and then finishing the job with Sketch. I wanted a tool which would let me do this work without leaving the browser and remove the need to use dev tools or design software all together.
With this in mind DataMask was born. After several iterations it can now automatically scramble all text on a website, draw blur rectangles and enable basic HTML edit capabilities.
Give DataMask a go and let me know how I can improve it further.
Try sites like HackerOne where you will get a framework for ethically looking for vulnerabilities in public software.
Since you seem to know the lingo and top issues on the web, try to find your first XSS on a website. The first one will take some time, but once you find one you will feel the rush of accomplishment. The second one will be easier to find and you will start noticing patterns in what to look for for.
It is really easy to capture private data in screenshots without even noticing. I have made a Chrome extension to blur or scramble website content, so it is safe to capture screenshots in support or editorial scenarios. https://datamask.tech
