Firefox Input, now with Atom Feeds and L10n!

The Fx Input team has released out a new revision of our fun project within the Firefox Betas! We had our triagers in mind with this release and have some real goodies for them. Take a look below for what’s in this release. Of course, a hearty congratulations and thanks are in order for Fred Wenzel, Dave Dash, Stephen Donner, Shyam Mani, Chris Howse, the L10n team and James Socol for making it happen.

Features Added

  1. All searches now have feeds! For example, head over to a search results page for the term ‘love’ and look at the right side of your url bar. There you’ll see a pretty little feed icon present. Click on it and enjoy!
  2. L10n Help in the form of a localized Input  (check out the bottom of the submission and dashboard pages) and a “Translate!” link for each individual message that redirects the user to Google’s Translation Service with the message they select in-hand.
  3. A few UX changes like removing those space-taking boxes on each individual message and percentages between happy/sad on our Overview Box.
