Joker: A Unified Interaction Model For Web Customization
summary
Joker is a Chrome extension that unifies extraction and augmentation with a spreadsheet-like formula language and a programming-by-demonstration PBD interface; it generates editable DOM-traversal programs (querySelector, getParent, getAttribute) and composes formulas to sort or flag items on the original page. Implemented as an extension of Wildcard, it works well on static pages and handled five formative participants, but struggles with non‑uniform HTML, hidden attributes, and React/virtual-DOM sites; not yet in the Chrome Web Store.
