Focus Mode/ Chunking:

Partially implemented. Works well on certain websites (especially news sites like TheGlobalMail). Our responses are not hard-coded, we have a functional back-end!

Pictures will be implemented into Chunking once we determine how to prevent ads from being “Chunkified.” This content is distracting.

As of writing this wiki, dragging a link to the Progress List may lead to the page scrolling away from the content. Once adding the link, the page will return to its original location automatically.

Sidebar/Link Queue:

Almost completely implemented.

Clicking on Links in focus mode will automatically add these links to the sidebar.

Incomplete Elements:

1.       Chunking is only partially implemented. While it works well for TheGlobalMail, other pages may display odd behavior. Our responses are not hard coded -- there is a functional backend.

Selective Focusing:

You can select some text, right click "Go into focus mode" and it will chunkify the selection. However, 2.       Focus on Selection behavior is linked to some of the partially implemented Chunking, so there are still some bugs.

Sample Scenarios

 

Elements we got rid of: (read GR1)

1.       Highlighting: Additional colors were deemed distracting during user testing. Further, we couldn’t ensure the colors would work with novel webpages.

2.       Gamifying: The buzz word of the year. Most of our users are very easily distracted, and adding more features distracted away from content.

a.       Ideas canned: Note taking, timers, awards for articles red.

3.       Reporting Mechanism: A lot of ADHD sufferers rely on a third party (Family, Friend, Teacher, etc…) to monitor their progress and ensure they are on task. In talking with our TA, we realized this may be outside the scope of what makes sense for the project.
