@viliusle I appreciate your perspective. For a more complete product yours might be good advice. But frankly, for this four-year-old simple bookmarklet that is designed to toggle the enable content editing bit for a web page, the
alert()seems like just the right amount of UI feedback for what it’s doing. Adding a “toast” would require embedding so much UI code in the bookmarklet as to make it needlessly complicated/bloated. That’s just my opinion, of course, and I’d love to see your alternative take on code that incorporates those UI elements in a bookmarklet efficiently. Obviously, if you’re doing this as part of a larger app and have control over the UI libraries so that it’s easy to add those elements, that would be a much better choice. But that’s not the case or intent here. Hopefully that makes sense to you!
