Hi everyone, this article is mainly about as comprehensive an introduction as possible to experience the rare-earth digging browser plug-in. Include every feature and detail possible. The article is a bit long. The experience content of the article is shown in the figure above. People can choose to watch according to their interests. Thank you for your support

I. Introduction of plug-ins

Rare Earth Nuggets Browser plugin (juejin.cn – official website (juejin. Cn)) is an Internet developer plugin developed by Juejin Technology Community (Juejin. Cn), which aims to serve developers, product managers and designers. Including front-end, Android, iOS, back-end, product, design six channels, each channel has one to multiple content sources; In addition to provide comprehensive search and development of auxiliary gadgets and other capabilities for developers to improve their work. At the same time, it also supports multi-terminal synchronization with the account, so there is no trouble in switching between multiple devices at home and work.

Two, plug-in installation

2.1 Store Installation

Take the Edge browser as an example. First, open the browser and enter in the address barMicrosoft Edge Extension Store, jump to the Edge extension store, search for rare earth nuggets in the search box in the upper left corner of the page, enter the plug-in details page, click on the upper right corner to obtain the installation (direct link:Rare Earth Mining – Microsoft Edge Addons).

According to edge browser rules, certain extensions change browser Settings, such as the default search engine, new TAB pages, and other types of web site data. Prevent extensions to the preferences you set when installing Microsoft Edge, and the browser will automatically close extensions that might change your preferences. At this point we need to manually open the gold digging plug-in. Browser inputedge://extensions/Enter the plug-in extension page, find the rare earth nuggets, and click open on the right to successfully add the plug-in to the browser.

At this time, the icon of rare earth mining can be seen in the position of the browser plug-in. Click to open a new TAB to enter the plug-in page.

2.2 Installing CRX Files

If you like to use Chrome everyday, you can choose to use CRX files to install it (Edge also works, but the store is more convenient). In this regard, the developer has fully considered the edge browser and Chrome browser to load the plug-in introduction page, has been optimized. Open the plugin’s official website (Rare Earth Mining browser plugin – juejin), you can see two buttons for store/Offline package download. Click offline package download to download the plug-in file successfully.

Open Chrome, enter Chrome :// Extensions/in the address box, and enable Developer mode in the upper right corner

Then drag the CRX file into your browser and release the mouse to begin installation. After the installation is complete, a message is displayed in the upper right corner indicating that it has been added to Chrome. You can see the gold nuggets icon in the extension area. Click to use it normally.

Three, full function experience

First, open the TAB. The role selection box will pop up automatically when you enter the TAB for the first time. We can choose whatever we want here. If the current browser is logged in, you do not need to log in again. If the current browser is not logged into nuggets main site. You need to log in. You can also switch in the upper right corner. In the following experience, all the descriptions of most functions, such as character selection, content browsing, super search box, aggregated search, top resident search, boiling point fishing, etc., are from the rare earth browser plug-in’s self-introduction. Also to make it easier for you to understand the official definition of plug-in functions. Without further ado let’s take it one step at a time.

3.1 Page header area

3.1.1 Role Switchover

When we first enter the page, we select the category we are interested in. The plugin decides what to display in the boiling point article and main content area based on our default categories. In the process of using the plug-in, we can always switch content in the drop-down box in the upper right corner. Then the boiling point articles and the main content display area will be switched accordingly. The specific corresponding relationship will be further explained in the corresponding section below.

3.1.2 Color Mode

Many friends like the theme of the dark series, for the nuggets main station to add a dark theme has not stopped the voice. Fortunately, the official plugin has arranged this feature for us. I have to say, the dark themes are perfect for work. The official definition is as follows:

• Daytime mode — Clear sky. As children, we are used to blue sky. As we grow up, when we glance out the window at the clear sky after busy work, we always feel a little bit more fortunate
• Night mode — Darth Vader, the secret night warrior in the blade flash that moment, has been inching forward flying a hundred miles, I hope you can get a special quiet night still working

Suddenly came up with a song that only alternates day and night/can not imagine each other’s world/we still insist on waiting in the same place/stand each other into two worlds

That’s the romance of the programmer

In addition to night mode, daytime mode also offers a variety of theme colors, with a total of seven theme colors currently available in individual Settings. Mainly permanent search bar background color switch. Seven colors and seven moods. You can use it seven days a week. And happy.

3.1.3 Page Layout

Everyone has different information reading needs. Some friends like nuggets, some like nuggets, and some follow GITHUB’s repository. Some of my friends like the aggregated search feature. To meet your different needs. There are three basic page layouts for us. For the top permanent search area, mining boiling point, quick tools for a certain choice. The main content browsing area and boiling point articles are fixed reservations. After all, don’t forget where you came from.

Personally, I prefer the tool-mode layout, so I don’t know what kind of layout everyone uses.

3.1.4 Personal Settings

3.1.4.1 System Settings

• Set to browser TAB. When opened, the browser clicks on the new TAB to open the gold digging plug-in by default. It is recommended to open.
• Automatically switch the dark mode, the default page is dark mode, when turned on, the setting column will show the theme color, you can choose freely.
• The new TAB opens the link. When clicking the main content area or other links to jump, the new page will jump when opened, and the current page will jump when closed. It is recommended to open.

Super search can be enabled on any page of the browser (non-plug-in pages can also be). The default wake up button isDouble-click the JCan be searched quickly. If the search content is a preset hot word, the system displays the search content. If it is a common term, open a new TAB and search according to the current search engine.

3.1.4.2 Super Search Settings

When the super search function is enabled, you can double-click the shortcut key to wake up the super search function. If it matches the default hot word. Will be displayed in the current page suspension small window, such as some commonly used time, TWO-DIMENSIONAL code, IP query function, it is extremely convenient to use. It also wakes up the note-taking function that comes with the plugin. Note taking is explained in more detail in tools-Notes below. The default wakeup word is shown in the following figure, and can be configured according to your preference.

In addition, the super search function allows you to use the shortcut to wake up any page in the current browser, TAB key can switch search engines!! This can be convenient to let everyone in Baidu page freedom with other search engines

3.1.4.3 My Account

In my Settings, accounts can view their current gold digging account avatar, name and creator level. Click your avatar to jump to the personal center page of the main site. Once logged in, you can back up or restore your personal Settings. Convenient multi-terminal use. Go to the store to review the plugin, and go to the nuggets Feedback topic to suggest your improvements. Here we recommend you to read about the application – the introduction of plug-ins. In sincere words, we can let users feel the temperature of the developer of the nuggets plug-in, and also the temperature of the nuggets community to all their friends in the community. Very moving.

3.1.5 Other functions of the head

The content on the left side of the head of the page is mainly to show the nuggets main website’s pamphlets and popular creators list. As well as the entrance of the main station, the download of gold digging APP. There are no other operational functions. Click to jump to the outer chain.

The right side of the header is mainly the logic function of the page ontology, which has been described in detail above. Click the gift ICON to jump to the lottery page on the nuggets main site. Click on your avatar to jump to your personal center.

3.2 Nuggets article

Nuggets article function should be nuggets community core section, in the plugin we can also see the corresponding section under the article. This area is set to search by category, sort by heat, or time. Benefit from the benefits of their own content. The content of this area is consistent with that of the main site. In this area you can view the title, author, post time, likes and comments of the article. Click on the article to jump to the main site of the article page.

Character name	Category”
Android	Android
The front end	The front end
product	Home page
design	Home page
IOS	IOS
The back-end	The back-end
Artificial intelligence (ai)	Artificial intelligence (ai)
operations	The development tools
test	Code name

Careful observation will also show that there is a linkage between the functions of the amateur article section of the character selected when entering the plug-in for the first time. This function can also be triggered when the role is switched in the upper right corner. After sorting out the corresponding relationship is shown in the table above. You can take a look at it. Convenient for future use.

3.3 Core Content area

As the c-bit area of the plug-in, what is displayed in this location should be the most important feature for the user. Let’s say I choose the front end. By default, the main area displays github’s JavaScript hotspots of the day. Click to jump to the corresponding github warehouse page. In the upper right corner, you can switch between different search criteria.

Domestic users may also be interested in Gitee, which can of course be selected in the top left corner of the main content area. But Gitee’s list isn’t as detailed as Github’s. By default, all categories are displayed. Only the corresponding language can be selected in the upper right corner.

One detail you can notice is that when you select GITEE in the front role, when you switch roles and return to the front role, the main content area shows the relationship that you selected last time by default. In this sense, the developers are paying attention (or perhaps the vue itself).

Of course, plug-ins also have a different presentation for designers and other relevant practitioners. Designers, for example, display Dribbble content by default. After sorting, the main content area of plug-in is mainly divided into the following four contents:

• Technology GitHub Gitee Blog Park CSDN blog V2EX
• Everyone is a Product manager
• Design Dribbble station cool Behance UI in China
• The home of IT

The above content mainly includes most of the current mainstream websites, which can barely meet the use of mild information acquisition needs. However, IT home is a sharing website with high updating frequency and timely information. There will be data update is not timely. Everyone should use it as needed.

3.4 Boiling point of nuggets

Boiling point has become a daily feature for me. Has replaced Weibo in my daily use. The updating frequency of boiling point is high and the interaction is strong. Officials are also developing the boiling point interaction. You can like, comment and view comments in the boiling point area. Currently, queries can only be sorted by popularity and release time. Currently does not support the topic function, circle function, release boiling point and other functions. I hope it can be improved in the future.

3.5 Shortcut Tools

3.5.1 External chain tools

The external chain tool mainly supports IP query, timestamp conversion, TWO-DIMENSIONAL code, translation functions. Are basically the daily use of high frequency of tools website. In the form of an embedded page for everyone to use. To a certain extent, can help you aggregate tool site, can achieve the purpose of using at any point.

External chain tools are commonly used tools website, in the use of plug-ins and in the use of a separate site there is no difference, specific functions here will not experience.

3.5.2 Note-taking Tools

Note function, is a plug-in developed independently of a tool. Click notes to enter the new notes page # Tag name can define the tag of notes. Then edit the notes yourself and set reading reminders. Click Save to save your notes.

Note management is basically the same as common note taking software, but the function pursuit is minimal, according to all notes, stars, labels for classification. By default, 30 days worth of notes are stored in the recycle bin. Avoid everyone delete by mistake. At the same time, notes also support full text search, so that you can quickly query the relevant notes.

If the simple note-taking function cannot meet the user’s requirements, you can switch to long notes in the lower right corner of the editing page. The Long Notes page is the editor for Markdown. More freedom to edit complex text content. After editing, the M flag is displayed in the note list, indicating that the document is a Markdown document.

Note setting reminder, the number of questions can be displayed in the lower right corner of the plug-in icon. Click on reminders to jump to the notes list page.

3.6 Top resident search

Top resident search can be understood as an integration of search tools. Including our common Google, Baidu, Bing. Also support github, nuggets, headlines and other accounts site content search. Press TAB to quickly switch search engines. Unified entry, effectively improve the efficiency of our search content.

At the same time, we can also add our own frequently used sites to the shortcut navigation, similar to the browser’s own search folder function. It can also effectively improve the efficiency of our browsing website.

Iv. Optimization suggestions for each function plate

4.1 Shortcut Tools (including Wake up of super search hot Words)

Because the external chain tool, super search hot word wake up two functions are essentially integrated external chain in the plug-in for easy use, put together feedback. At present, the external chain tool is fixed four kinds of system including IP query, time stamp, TWO-DIMENSIONAL code, translation. But in the actual use, such as JSON conversion, code formatting beautification, information coding conversion tool website is also common content. Heavy mouth is difficult to adjust, so I hope the official can give users more freedom of authority, custom tool Settings, configuration site address, custom display icon. Or the official for more detailed work, set up a more detailed developer or product designer tool library, we can choose their most needed tools in the library for shortcut keys, or toolbar display configuration. More convenient for everyone to use. The following is my list of common personal websites, I hope the official can consider comprehensively.

1. Online JSON validation formatting tool (Be JSON)
2. Unicode Encoding Conversion – Chinaz.com
3. regex101: build, test, and debug regex
4. latex2png – convert latex equations to images
5. CloudConvert

4.2 Note Taking function

The current note-taking tool is a minimalist version of note-taking software. Support basic tag, favorites, reminders, query functions. No support for complex rich text formats. As a lightweight note-taking software that writes on the dot. These basic features are sufficient. But with my actual use scenarios, random writing is a daily requirement of mine. Another requirement that is heavily used every day is to-do lists. Start editing at work each day, organize your daily tasks, and mark each task you complete. Hopefully the plugin’s note-taking software will also support basic to-do lists.

At the same time, it is suggested that the official take notes tool on the home page, make a small section, can display and edit the latest notes and to-do list. Increase the use of plug-ins.

4.3 Page Section Settings

Currently, there are three modes officially defined in the page section. But the three modes will be gold digging articles, the main content area reserved. The main content area is only for display at present, click to jump to the external link. But the section should take up at least half of the page. We hope to reduce the proportion of the main content area. I have the following ideas

1. Replace the gold digging article with the current main content area, put the gold digging article in the main display area of the page, and increase the functions of reading, commenting and liking articles. Can let everyone in the current plug-in to dig gold main site to read the same operation.
2. Page configuration is more free, we can freely allocate each section page ratio.
3. The information content of the plug-in itself, the content of the external website is low degree of freedom, just can be displayed. Hopefully, the plugins section will still integrate more of the host’s functionality. Let everyone have the feeling of using official website in the process of using plug-ins. There is no need to switch back and forth between the plugin and the host.
4. Add a check-in, raffle module, or add a check-in reminder to the plug-in page. (Definitely forgot to sign in party Gospel)
5. The amount of content displayed in the main content area can be optimized for the UI design, reducing horizontal spacing, and displaying more content.

4.4 Shortcut Key Setting Reminder Optimization

User-defined shortcut keys do not take effect immediately. Based on my usage, it would be necessary to refresh the page. Therefore, after the user resets the shortcut key, the window should pop up to remind the user to refresh the page to take effect. Otherwise, users will consider their Settings invalid.

4.5 Function Setting Mouse hover Prompt

regex101: build, test, and debug regex

Click the four ICONS in the upper right corner of the page to identify specific functions. This should be optimized to display the Chinese name of the feature when the mouse is hovering. Improve user experience.

4.6 Boiling point comments added delete button

At present, boiling point can like, cancel like, comment function. But comments after deletion. The feature feels incomplete. Hopefully, future versions will complement this feature.

4.7 Optimization of GITEE retrieval conditions

When the main content area is set to Gitee. The search criteria are sorted alphabetically except for the first three. But the drop-down list doesn’t give a hint of what you can do by sliding. It’s hard to see that the list of languages is scrollable without sliding the scroll wheel. It is recommended to add a scroll bar to the right. Or support only the amount retrieval commonly used in languages.

4.8 Login Redirect Optimization

When you open the plug-in, the login page will be redirected if you are not logged in. However, after successful login, the page will be redirected to the gold digging home page. Hope to optimize, according to the page source to determine the jump. If it is from the plug-in page, you want to return to the plug-in page after successful login.

4.9 Dark mode on the notes page

If the current page is in dark mode, the white background is too different when I open my notes. When your eyes are tired. It’s gonna be a little harsh. I hope it can be optimized in the future. Make notes and the theme of the plugin the same color.

5. Small bugs found (subjective)

In careful use, as described in the article above. A lot of the details are great. Being a front-end developer is a huge benefit. But also found some daily use, affect the use experience of small problems. Not professional test, some functions are mainly their own subjective understanding. Officially, it’s just some optimization suggestions.

• Browser: Microsoft Edge Version 96.0.1054.62 (official internal version) (64-bit)
• Gold nuggets version: 0.7.3
• System: Windows 11

5.1 Jump Error

[Settings] – [my] – [five Reviews], in the EDGE browser, click [five reviews], jump to the corresponding address of Google plug-in store, should change the jump address to:Rare Earth Mining – Microsoft Edge Addons

5.2 New Message reminder is not reset

In the plug-in page, if there is a new message for the current account, a red dot will be displayed on the upper right corner of the page. When I click the red dot on the new TAB page to read the new message prompt. Plug-in page new message prompt is not reset. You are advised to change it to if a new message is displayed and the user clicks the profile picture. Reset the message alert status.

5.3 The display of the drop-down box is abnormal

If a user clicks multiple drop-down boxes in a row (the area outside the drop-down box is not clicked during the process), different drop-down boxes will not be reset. In particular, the three drop-down boxes in the main content display area will overlap. Very bad experience.

5.4 Abnormal Page Mask

Here is the page that wakes up the super search, and the page mask affects the display of the super search box. But the super search box still works. This is where logic personally feels the need for further optimization.

5.5 Icon Is Displayed Abnormally

Trigger condition: Click the browser to create a new TAB, the browser opens the gold digging plug-in by default. The page icon will be blank. We don’t know if it’s a bug in the Edge browser or a bug in the plugin development. I saw an error on the console. I wonder if this caused it.

5.6 Added Shortcut Navigation Occlusion Super Search

When adding shortcut navigation and invoking super search, super search is blocked. The page level of super search should be higher.

5.7 Note reading reminders are not obvious

The reading alert is set to 16:43, but there is no clear message when the time is up. After looking around carefully, I find that the message appears in the lower right corner of the plugin icon. I want to add an obvious popover prompt.

Write at the end

First feel the nuggets development team developed this plug-in. In the detailed experience process, I have felt the sincerity of the development team. As a deep user digging gold (touch fish), every day with wool collar around, lucky to write a test article about plug-ins. The content of this article is just my personal knowledge and understanding of the browser plug-in, and I have tried to use every function of the plug-in as much as possible, clicking almost every button. I also saw the team’s introduction of the plugin.

These are mimicry, but they are words from my heart.

I’m glad that the dev team or digg team is reading this, and that my personal subjective testing experience has probably only touched on a small part of the whole plugin. But if it can help you in the process of use or development. I have been very happy, I know that my experience is not comprehensive, maybe only superficial, but it represents my gratitude and expectations for the Nuggets. Hope the nuggets can accompany my future work every day ❤️
