v0.2.0

Uli Community and updates to Plugin

Key updates to the plugin:

• Added user authentication. Now you can retain your contributions across different browsers and devices.
• You can redact slurs, or enable our new feature which highlights slur words and displays contextual information about them (what we referred to as the “hover feature” in previous emails).
• You can add to your personal block list through the “Add to your personal block list” button which allows you to add words you would like to see redacted on your feed.
• You also have the option of downloading all the new slurs we have crowdsourced, and keep the features up-to-date
• Once logged in, you can add contextual information about slur words as well, under the My Contributions section on the plugin. This feature is made specifically for crowdsourcing new slurs, and you can add contextual information to the words in your personal block list here as well.
• A short-form way of adding slurs to Uli also exists- If you select and right-click on a word displayed on a page, you will see an option, “Add to Uli”. Upon clicking this option, this word will be added to the crowdsourced slurs.
• Fixed the slur metadata feature to work for non-English languages

Uli Community

We built a dashboard to display crowdsourced slurs from all users in one place. Throught Uli Community, users can create/login with their account information, and view the slurs and contextual information being added by them and others.

Show Slur Metadata on a Webpage

This feature displays relevant metadata associated with a slur word on a webpage. Metadata like was this word used casually? is it appropriated? context it was used in etc. An efficient DOM parser was written to find the location of the slur words and display data over it.

Tattle participated in the Code4GovTech program through which @hardik-pratap-singh contributed this feature to Uli.

Crowdsource Slur's using Uli

Users can now crowdsource slur's and its relevant metadata using Uli. A user can select and right-click on a word to crowdsource it.

The metadata helps in providing better context to slur words. Metadata that can be crowdsourced for a slur is:

1. Level of Severity
2. Casual
3. Appropriated
4. If Appropriated, is it by community or others?
5. What makes it problematic?
6. Category of Abuse
