"CollectiveTweaks" - Crowdsource (y)our view

/ 'Crowd Fixes' / UserTweaks? - A new word? Easier than "userScripts"; universally relevant/functional unlike "userStyles", but especially a collective crowd effort
(to tweak: "improve (a mechanism or system) by making fine adjustments to it.")

Idea:

Crowd-Sourcing universal CSS Tweaks to refine, renew, reimagine the web.
- One-fit-all. The web as a CSS(/js)-collaboration / wiki

  • Mandate: Tweaks for everybody. (If we can achieve the best, can we also make the community of volunteers grow/prosper from it? Or must we tolerate, if our work will be implemented by the originals, after we prove it right, without giving us credit?)

  • Scheme / "Rules of the game": Everybody runs every tweak out of a pool/catalogue, that is was voted up, democratically or near consensus by the community, i.e. >70% "Yes", while quickly disabling a tweak could also inevitably change one's vote to "No". Collecting at least 100 votes for each, by users/volunteers & revisors/developers. ( * Wisdom Of The Crowd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOucwX7Z1HU) (User IDs could be random, data could be public, on a central server or in a blockchain / L2 blockchain)

    • This will motivate thoughtfulness, unexpected help, wonderful creativitiy:
      • Deleting useless things
      • Enlarging tiny inputs
      • Web-street art.
      • Correcting fake news in place.
      • ...
    • (Most rules will be per domain. Could any tweak be applied both for everybody AND on wide URL-range, such as *.org|edu|gov. "Holy-Grail"?)
    • 2. There can be specific rule sets, as in Adblockers. For example one called "Brand-Me-Not" or "Logo-Hater", removing commercial logos, (Except those that >70% of users think should not be removed/are relevant content, very social or very small companies). (This/such rule-set as a whole in turn might not be wanted by more than 80% of people, so that it will be at risk of becoming optional opt-in. But could keep the same votings per tweak within at the general ones.)



Just some quick examples (/attempts/drafts) :

google analytics too small

google analytics filter

1. The google analytics filter field is very small since ages. It also is very far on the right.


Lets make it just a little better: .ID-filterBox { width:190px !important; font-size: 14px !important; height: 21px !important;}



2. Youtube's sidebar is very bold and contrasty, compared to actuall videos. Lets counter balance that by just 12% transparency: #secondary {opacity:0.88}

3. The following two github standard labels can be boring / unnecessary to watch, so lets make them just a bit less visible:
a[data-name^='help wanted'], a[data-name^='good first issue'] {opacity: 0.80; transform:scale(0.96);}

github standard labels help wanted good first issue
