663576 - Snippet Service Improvements: Easy Snippet Form

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Snippets Graveyard :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Osmose [:osmose, :mkelly]]

Component of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659773

We want an easier interface for creating snippets. Most snippets are simply an image, some text, and a link. The image has to be embedded with a dataURI, and the snippet content is entered directly. We also want to be able to preview snippets.

Current prototype has two tabs in place of the original text box. One tab is the "Advanced" view, which is the original text box. The other tab is the "Basic" view, which has a field for a link to the desired image and a text box for the snippet content. 

Clicking a preview button downloads and converts the linked image to a dataURI, constructs the code for the snippet, fills in the text box with this code, and displays a preview of the snippet for the user.
